With one option, he receives a base salary of $1132 and gets an additional 4% commission on the sales he makes. With the other option, he receives a base salary of $300 and gets an additional 12% commission on the sales he makes. What amount of sales must he have for the pay from the two options to be equal?

/0.08
832/0.08=x
x=10,400 sales
