Answer 1

Given :

Two companies offer jane sales position. Company a pays $3,000 per month plus $250 per car sold.. Company B pays 2,500 per month plus $350 per car sold.

To Find :

Which equation could be used to determine the number of cars sold in a month, x, that would result in the same total income from each company.

Solution :

Let, x car are sold for same income.

Mathematical equation of company one :

$T_1 =3000+250x$

Mathematical equation of company two :

$T_2 =2500+350x$

For same income :

$T_1=T_2\\\\3000 + 250x = 2500 + 350x\\\\100x = 500\\\\x=5$

So, for same total income from each company the number of cars sold in a month should be 5.

Hence, this is the required solution.
