Salary at Boden tools = $800
Salary at Sentor Inc = 2.5% on the first $45000 of monthly sales, 4.5% on the next 20000 of monthly sales over $65000.
Monthly average Sales by Amy = $87000
Hence ,Salary at Sentor Inc = 2.5/100*45000 + 4.5/100*20000
= 1125 + 900
= $ 2025
Difference in Salries = 2025 - 800 = 1225
At Sentor Inc, Amy can more by $1225
