Thomas has been offered two jobs. The first job pays $880.00 per week. The second job pays $790.00 per week plus 12% commission on his sales. How much will he have to sell in order for the second job to pay as much as the first job?

$750

Explanation:

Given the following:

i. first job pays $880 per week

ii. second job pays $790 per week

amount first job is paying more= ($880 - $790) = $90

Hence,12% should equate $90 if Thomas wants to make the second job pay him as much as the first job

Therefore, 12% of X = $90

12÷100 * X = $90

X = 90 * 100 ÷ 12

X= 9000 ÷ 12

X = $750

Hence, Thomas has to make a sale of $750 to earn a 12% comission of $90
