Question

Curt can be paid in one of two ways for the sales he generates:


Plan A: 900$ per month plus 10% sales commission.

Plan B: $1200 per month plus 15% commission on sales above $8,000.

Assuming he always exceeds $8,000 in sales, for what amount interval of $ sales is Plan B better?

Answer 1

900 + .1 x = 1200 + .15(x - 8,000)
is breakeven point. Above that take the 15%

Answer 2

So I distribute the .15 and then solve for x?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

why did you put .1% instead of .10%?

Answer 5

They are both the same.

Answer 6

10% = 10/100 = .10 = .1
