...
Job 1 == $600 + 2%
Job 2 -- %1000 +1.5%
let total sales be $x
..
at what level of sales will the income of job1 be < income of job 2
600+0.02*x < 1000+0.015x
0.02x-0.015x<1000-600
0.005x<400
/0.005
x= 400/0.005
x<80,000
Upto sales of 80,000 income will be lower in Job 1
..
Greater than $80,000 Job 1 will be a better deal.
