Question

Ethan and Sam work at different department stores. Ethan is paid 125$ per week and an 8% commission on sales, while Sam is paid 200$ per week and a 6% commission on sales. Enter the amount in dollars of sales for which they earn the same weekly income

Answer 1

Answer:

3750$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount in dollars of sales:

125 + 0.08x = 200 + 0.06x (when Ethan and Sam earn the same weekly income)

0.02x = 75

x = 3750
