You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"x\"$ = yearly sales
\n" ); document.write( "We equate both offer:
\n" ); document.write( "12600+2%(x)=8%(x)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12600=0.08x-0.02x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12600=x%280.08-0.02%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"cross%2812600%29210000%2Fcross%280.06%29=x%2Across%280.06%29%2Fcross%280.06%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=210000\"$ -------------> 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.
