Question

Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900.
Suppose Salesmen A and B have the same number of sales and earn the same amount in Week 4 of this month. How many sales must they both have had?
sales

65x -40x = 25x

25x = 300 then divide by 25

25 25

x = 12
