You have just been given a new job in sales. You have to salary options. You can receive a straight salary of $500 per week(no commission option) or you can receive a salary of $200 per week plus 5% of your weekly sales (commission option). What dollar amount of product must you sell each week in order for the commission option to be the better deal? 


Let weekly sales be S
Then: 200 + .05S > 500
.05S > 300
S, or weekly sales > {{{300/.05}}}, or > ${{{highlight_green(6000)}}} (greater than $6,000, meaning $6,000.01, or more)
