Question 187406
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let the amount of sales be <i>x</i>.  Then amount of compensation from A would be:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  200 + 0.10x] per week.


Likewise B would pay:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  400 + 0.05x] per week.


You want to know the value of <i>x</i> that makes these two expressions equal, so set them equal to each other:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  200 + 0.10x = 400 + 0.05x]


Solve for <i>x</i> and you will have your answer.
