Answer:

x=5000 I think

Explanation:

1800-1600=200$ difference between choices

this difference equals a 4% commission on the amount of furniture she sells during the month

If the amount of sales is x$, then a 4% commission on the amount is 0.04x$

so 0.04x=200

x=200%2F0.04

x=5000$ amount of sales for that two choices will be equal
