Question 961548: You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers a straight commission of 6% of the sales. The second company offers a salary of $ 210 per week plus 1% of the sales. How much would you have to sell in a week in order for the straight commission offer to be at least as good?
Now for the first equation wouldn't it be y= 06x for sales and the salary is .01x+210
