Let "x" = amount of sales

Option A > Option B
1680%2B0.08x%3E2000%2B0.06x
0.08x-0.06x%3E2000-1680
0.02x%3E320
cross%280.02%29x%2Fcross%280.02%29%3Ecross%28320%2916000%2Fcross%280.02%29
red%28x%3E16000%29

*Sales should be > $16,000.00 for option A to be a better choice.

* If < $16,000.00, Option B is the choice.

* If = $16,000.00, either choice bec. income will just be the same.

Thank you,
