A salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where she has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of ​$21. Option B is a commission rate of 10​% on weekly sales. How much does she need to sell this week to earn the same amount with the two​ options?

Respuesta :

Answer

$8,400


Explanation

For option A, the salesperson would earn;

$21 × 40 = $840.

For the salesperson to earn the same, we should calculate as follows:

Let x be the amount he/she sells.

10% of x = $840

10% × x = $840

0.10x = $840

x = 840/0.10

    = $8,400
