You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let s = amount of sales
Job A:
Annual salary = 30000+%2B+.01s
Job B:
Annual salary = 24000+%2B+.02s
----------------------------
Set the expression equal to each other
30000+%2B+.01s+=+24000+%2B+.02s
.01s=+6000
s+=+600000
You would have to makel $600,000
worth of sales
