Question 841388: You are offered the option of choosing a yearly salary of $45,000 or continue working on commission.
A. Using the equation from problem #1, how many appliances do you have to sell per year in order to match this salary? (Hint: $450 is the base pay per month, not year. Multiply the base pay by 12 to represent a full year.)
B. If you currently average 74 appliance sales per month, which option should you choose?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! a)
45000=12*(50x+450)
x=66 . He needs to sell 66 appliances every month to match 45000 for the year
b)45000 per year is 3750 per month
s=50*74+450
s=3700+450
s=4150
4150 is more than 3750
4150*12=49800 per year versus 45000
which is 4800 more per year.
Can you depend on making $4150 every month?
