9. Joanna is considering two job offers. Phoenix Fashions offers $1500/month plus 2.5% commission. Styles by Rebecca offers

$1250/month plus 5.5% commission.

a) Create a linear system by writing an equation for each salary.

b) What value of sales would result in the same total salary

for both jobs?

c) Which job should Joanna take? Explain your answer.

A] 1500 + 0.025x , 1250 + 0.055x ; B] Sales value = 8333

C] Offer 1, if prefers more fix salary over additional incentive. And, offer 2 if  prefers additional incentive over fix salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sales be = x

A] Offer 1 = 1500 + 2.5% comm on sales = 1500 + 2.5%x = 1500 + 0.025x

Offer 2 = 1250 + 5.5% comm on sales = 1250 + 5.5%x = 1250 + 0.055x

B] Value of sales, resulting in total salary : at equation 1 = equation 2

1500 + 0.025x = 1250 + 0.055x

1500 - 1250 = 0.055x - 0.025x → 250 = 0.03x

x = 250 / 0.03 →  x (Sales value) = 8333

C] Which job she should take, would depend on her preferences.

If she wants more fixed salary, & less above per unit achievement, she should take offer 1 as fixed salary 1500 > 1250. If she wants less fixed salary & more additional incentives, she should take offer 2, as commission 5.5% > 2.5%
