As a salesperson for an electronic parts distributor, you are given two options for your salary structure. The first option has

a base salary of $300 a week plus 4% of all sales made. The second option has a base salary of $100 plus 7.5% commission on all sales. Find the sales amount that will result in the two options having the same weekly salary.

Answer:

The amount of sale is approximately 5714.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sales made that will result to the same salary and let y be the same weekly salary.

We can represent both salaries as follows:

300 + 0.04x = y

100 + 0.075x = y

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have:

200 – 0.035x = 0

0.035x= 200

x = 200/0.035

x ≈ 5714.

Therefore, the amount of sale is approximately 5714.

Answer:

35 :

t = 6.25 years

(about 6 years 3 months)

Equation:

t = (1/r)(A/P - 1)

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 4%/100 = 0.04 per year,

then, solving our equation

t = (1/0.04)((2500/2000) - 1) = 6.25

t = 6.25 years

The time required to get a total amount, principal plus interest, of $2,500.00 from simple interest on a principal of $2,000.00 at an interest rate of 4% per year is 6.25 years (about 6 years 3 months).

36:

The two distances are the same (out and back), so set them equal.

That is done by having a (rate)(time) equal a (rate)(time).

One time is “x” and the other is “4.8-x.”

One rate is 460 and the other is 500.

460 x = 500 (4.8 -x)

460 x = 2400 - 500x

900 x = 2400

x = 2.5 hours for the slower plane.

4.8- x = 2.3 hours for the faster plane.
