Answer: When sales are greater than 2000 then José's monthly earnings sre more than those of Maris.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Total sales
For José, monthly salary = $3,500
Commission percentage = 8% =0.08
Monthly earnings= Monthly salary + (Commission percentage) x (Total sales)
Monthly earnings= 3500 +0.08 x
For Maris, monthly salary = $3,900
Commission percentage = 6%
Monthly earnings= 3900 +0.06 x
When José's monthly earnings > Maris's monthly earnings
then, 3500 +0.08 x > 3900 +0.06 x
Subtract 3500 from both sides, we get
0.08 x > 400+0.06x
Subtract 0.06x from both sides, we get
0.02x>400
Divide both sides b 0.02
x> 20000
When sales are greater than 2000 then José's monthly earnings sre more than those of Maris.
