Question

A car salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of ​$16. Option B is a commission rate on weekly​ sales, and he averages ​$6400 in sales each week. What commission rate does he need to have to earn the same amount with the two​ options?

Answer 1

10%

since he works 40 hours per week and gets $16 an hour, that would be 16 * 40 which is 640, so that means he needs a commission rate of 10% as 10% of 6400 is 640.

hope this is helpful!
