Asalesperson 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?

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
