You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Lext x be the amount in dollars obtained from sales\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the amount earned from plan 1 is 400 + (2/100)*x
\n" ); document.write( "the amount earned from plan 2 is 250 + (16/100)*x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The problem is to find out the amount of sales required for both the plans to be equal\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which means what is the value of x such that amount from plan1 equals to amount from plan2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "400 + (2/100)*x = 250 + (16/100)*x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "400 - 250 = (16/100 - 2/100)*x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "150 = (14/100)*x
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "(14/100)*x = 150\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = (150 *100)/14 = (150*50)/7 = 7500/7\r
