kala has been offered two 40 hour jobs a week one jobs pays an hourly wage of $25 and 10% each sale the other job pays an hourly wage of $20 and 20% each sale when do they pay the same

Let the sale amount be x when the salary is same
Kala Job I 40*25+10%x
job II 40*20+20%x
so
40*25+10%x=40*20+20%x
40*25+0.1x=40*20+0.2x
0.2x-0.1x=40*25-40*20
0.1x = 40(25-20)
0.1x = 40 *5
0.1x= 200
x= 2000
sales = $2000 for same income
