Question 1190812: Translate to a system of equations and solve.
Maxim has been offered positions by two car companies. The first company pays a salary of $10,000 plus a commission of $1,000 for each car sold. The second pays a salary of $50,000 plus a commission of $500 for each car sold. How many cars would need to be sold to make the total pay the same?
___ cars Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x=number of cars sold
10000+1000x=50000+500x
500x=40000
x=80 cars, which is the answer.
the amount sold for both equations with x=80 is $90,000.
