Jose interviewed for two different sales positions at

competing companies. Reliable Robotics has offered
Jose a salary of $31,200 per year plus a 9%
commission on his total sales. Robot Renegades offers
him $26,000 per year salary plus a 15% commission on
total sales for the year.
Write two linear equations, one for each offer, for the
annual pay y that Jose can make based on weekly
sales x.
Jose isn't sure which offer to accept. He likes both
companies so it comes down to the better offer. Jose is
pretty sure he can make at least $2000 sales a week.
Recommend to Jose which job he should take
considering his estimation of $2000 a week.

Answer:

Reliable Robotics: .09x+31200

Robot Renegades: .15x+26000

If Jose does 2000 sales a week this means that Robot Renegades is the better offer

Explanation:

Reliable Robotic's offer can be modeled through the following equation

.09x+31200

And for robot renegades it's

.15x+26000

If we plug in 2,000 and multiply by 52 (to see how many sales he makes a year) into x we get

.09*2000*52+31200=40560

.15*2000*52+26000=41600

This obviously means that reliable robotics is the better offer
