Define the two friends as person A and person B.
Let x = the sales in a week.
Person A:
$125 per week plus 18% commission on sales.
Earnings in a week on x sales is
125 + 0.18x
Person B:
$85 per week plus 21% commission on sales.
Earnings in a week on x sales is
85 + 0.21x
For the two earnings to be equal,
85 + 0.21x = 125 + 0.18x
0.03x = 40
x = 40/0.03 = $1333.33
