Answer:
$20,000
Step-by-step explanation:
You can quickly figure this by recognizing that the difference in commission must be the same as the base salary:
2.5%(car price) = $500
car price = $500/0.025 = $20,000
__
If you prefer, you can get there with equations.
At Job 1, the pay is ...
y = 10%×(car price)
At Job 2, the pay is ...
y = 7.5%×(car price)
Setting the equal (the two opportunities pay the same), we have ...
0.10(car price) = 500 +0.075(car price)
0.025(car price) = 500 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.075(car price)
car price = 500/0.025 = 20,000 . . . . divide by 0.025
Jim would have to sell a $20,000 car each week for the jobs to pay the same.
