You can put this solution on YOUR website! 100,000+1,000(x-100)>200,000
100,000+1,000x-100,000>200,000
1,000x>200,000
x>200,000/1,000
x>200 thus he must get 200 hits to make $200,000 salary + bonus.
Proof:
Let the hits = 201
100,000+1,000(201-100)>200,000
100,000+201,000-100,000>200,000
201,000>200,000
