1. With S being sales, your equation is: .035(S - 10,000) = 1,400
\n" );
document.write( "  .035S - 350 = 1,400
\n" );
document.write( "  .035S = 1,750
\n" );
document.write( "  Sales amount to earn $1,400 in commission, or 
\n" );
document.write( "OR
\n" );
document.write( "With sales above $10,000 being S, we get the following equation: .035S = 1,400 
\n" );
document.write( "Sales amount above $10,000, or 
\n" );
document.write( "Now, we add $40,000 to $10,000 to get a total of:   \n" );
