Question 830191: You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers a straight commission of 7% of the sales.

job1:
s = 0.07x
---
job2:
s = 0.02x + 420
---
break even:
0.07x = 0.02x + 420
0.05x = 420
x = 420/0.05
x = 8400
---
answer:
if you sell $8400 per week, job1 and job2 pay the same weekly salary.
if you sell less than $8400 per week, then job2 pays better than job1.
