Question

You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers a straight commission of 5% of the sales.
The second company offers a salary of $ 210 per week plus 2% of the sales. How much would you have to
sell in a week in order for the straight commission offer to be at least as good?

Answer 1

Answer:

The offers are equal at $7,000, after $7,000 more money will be made with a straight commission.

Step-by-step explanation:

.05x = .02x + 210  Subtract .02x from both sides.

.03x  = 210   Divide both sides by .03

x  = $7,000.
