Question

Darcy and Harper work for different catering companies. Darcy earns a weekly salary of $982 and an 18% commission on her food

Answer 1

Answer:

$2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Darcy's weekly earning = $982 plus 18% commission on food sales

Harper's weekly earning = $807 plus 25% commision

amount of food sales will result in Darcy and Harper earning the same amount for the week

Let amount of food sales = f

Darcy's earning = Harper's earning

(982 + 18%*f) = (807 + 25% * f)

(982 + 0.18f) = (807 + 0.25f)

982 + 0.18f = 807 + 0.25f

982 - 807 = 0.25f - 0.18f

175 = 0.07f

f = 175 / 0.07

f = 2500

Hence amount of food sales that will result in both Darcy and Harper earning the same amount = $2500
