-------------
EQUATION:
Commission = 40x + 0.04(x-600) where x is number of machines sold and
the domain is x >= 600
-----------------------------
Find "x" if Commision is 30,800
30800 = 40x + 0.04(x-600)
40x + 0.04x - 24 = 30800
40.04x = 30824
x = 768.83
Rounding up the salesperson must sell 769 machines.
