You can put this solution on YOUR website! she earns $1000 per month plus 15%commission on her sales. River City Sales another company in the same town has offered martha a job that will pay her $500 per month plus 20% commission on her sales. explain why matha should or should not accept the job at river city sales. support you answer by finding x,the average total sales for the month she would need to at least equal her present income at momentum sales.
----------------
Let "x" be her sales.
----------------------
Current position salary: C(x) = 1000 + 0.15x
----------------------
Other position salary: O(x) = 500 + 0.20x
------------------
INEQUALITY:
O(x)>=C(x)
500+0.20x >= 1000+0.15x
0.05x >= 500
x >= $10,000
She would have to sell at least $10,000 per month in
the new position to meet or exceed her income in her
current position.
