: Suppose a company offers you a sales position with your choice of two method of determining your yearly salary.One method pays $12600 plus a bonus 2% of your sales .The other method pays a straight 8% commission on your sales .For what yearly sales amount is it better to choose the fist method? This question is from textbook

Let = yearly sales
We equate both offer:
12600+2%(x)=8%(x)

-------------> the yearly sales should not exceed this much if you want to choose PLAN 1 (w/ 2% commission). IF sales go over $210,000, then plan 2 (w/ 8%) is a better choice --- MORE MONEY. Try $220,000? $250,000? You'll see.
Thank you,
