Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of $25. Option B is a commission rate of 8% on weekly sales.
First of all we will find amount earned by salesperson with option A.
\text{Option A earnings}=40\times 25=1000Option A earnings=40×25=1000
The salespersons earns $1000 through option A.
Let x be the amount of weekly sales.
8% of x should be equal to 1000 for salesman to earn the same amount with the two options.
\frac{8}{100}x=1000
100
8
x=1000
0.08 x=10000.08x=1000
x=\frac{1000}{0.08}x=
0.08
1000
x=12500x=12500
Therefore, the salesman needs to make a weekly sales of $12,500 to earn the same amount with two options.
