depends on how much the plants are worth; salary

Answer 2

7 plants

Explanation:

Jill is offered either $50 per day or $30 per day plus a commission of $3 for every plant she sells.

Let she sells the number of plants = p

30 + (3 × p) > 50

3p > 50 - 30

3p > 20

p > 20/3

p > 6.666 ≈ 7 plants

She need to sell 7 plants to make the commission offer the best paying option.
