You can put this solution on YOUR website! Option A: Base salary of $18,000 a year, with a commission of 9% of your sales
Option B: Base salary of $26,000 a year, with a commission of 2% of your sales
Let us assume I have to sell worth $x
Option A sales - option B sales
Income from A >Income from B
18000 +0.09*x >26000+0.02x
18000-26000>0.02x-0.09x
-8000>-0.07x
-8000/-0.07
114,286
Sales should be less than 114,286 for option A to be better
