Answer:$5408

Explanation:

The first company offers a straight commission of 5% of the sales. This means the salary or income is 5% of sales made.

The second company offers a salary of $260 per week plus 4% of the sales. This means salary or income

= $260 +4% of 260

= 260 + (4/100)×260

= 260 +(0.04×260)

=260+10.4 = $270.4

Let x = the amount of sales you would have to sell in a week in order for the straight commission offer to be at least as good

5% of x should be greater than or equal to $270.4

0.05x = 270.4

x = 270.4/0.05 =$5408

The sales should be greater than or equal to $5408
