Question 320087: A salesperson has two job offers. Company A offers a weekly salary of $90 plus commission of 6% of sales. Company B offers a weekly salary of $180 plus commission of 3% of sales. What is the amount of sales above which Company A's offer is the better of the two? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A=90+.06x
B=180+.03x
A>B
90+.06x>180+.03x
.06x-.03x>180-90
.03x>90
x>90/.03
x>3,000 is the amount of the sales to make the salaries equal.
Any sales above $3,000 will make Plan 'A' a better deal.
