You can put this solution on YOUR website! When Efraim was offered a new job, he had to choose between a monthly salary of $6000 or a Monthly salary of $4500, with a commission of 8% on all sales for the month.
Part A
Write an inequality that, when solved, will tell Efraim the monthly sales amount for which the first choice yields a higher salary.
Part B
1st part salary: 6000
---
2nd part salary: 4500 + 0.08x where x is total sales.
------
Inequality:
6000 > 4500 + 0.08x
------
0.08x < 1500
x < $18,750
