Question

Jonathon and Raymond earn a base salary plus commission. Jonathon earns $1500 plus 10% of his sales each month. Raymond earns $1200 plus 15% of his sales each month. How much will Jonathon and Raymond need to sell in order to earn the same amount each month?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Jonathon and Raymond need to sell 6000 sales to earn the same amount each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let no. of sales = x

Jonathon earning = $ 1500 + $\frac{10}{100} x$

Raymond earning = $ 1200 + $\frac{15}{100} x$

Given that the earnings of Jonathon & Raymond are same.

1500 + $\frac{10}{100} x$ = 1200 + $\frac{15}{100} x$

300 =  $\frac{5}{100} x$

x = 6000 sales

Therefore the Jonathon and Raymond need to sell 6000 sales to earn the same amount each month.
