Problema Solution

Jennifer just got a sales job and she was asked to pick between two options: she can either accept Plan A ($300 per week plus a 10% commission on sales) or Plan B ($400 per week plus 8% commission on sales). For what amount of weekly sales would Jennifer earn more on Plan A?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let the total sales be X

plan A 300+10% of X

plan B 400+8% of X

Jennifer earn more on Plan A which means

300+10% of X > 400+8% of X

300+10/100X > 400+8/100X

30000+10X > 40000+8X

2X > 10000

X > 5000

jennifer must sell more than 5000 units
