Question

Amara currently sells televisions for company A at a salary of $8000 plus a $110 commission for each television she sells. Company B offers her a position with a salary of $9440 plus a $20 commission for each television she sells. How many televisions would Amara need to sell for the options to be equal?

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

If Amara sells X TV's then

For company A the earnings will be 8000+110x

For Company B the earnings will be 9440+20x

How many televisions would Amara need to sell for the options to be equal?

We find the value of X by equating both equations

8000+110x=9440+20x

110x-20x=9440-8000

90x=1440

x=16

Amara need to sell 16 TV's for the options to be equal
