Answer by jorel555(1290)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Stephanie has two choices: $500/week, or $200/week + 5% sales. In order for them to be equal:
500=200+.05s
300=.05s
s=300/.05=6000
The answer is D. Stephanie would have to sell more than $6000 worth in order to make more than $500/week.
Hope this helps.
