Answer 1

Joanne's sales need to be greater than $500,000 for Store B to be a better offer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out what sales Joanne needs to make for Store B to be a better offer, we need to compare the earnings from both stores. Let's represent the sales made by Joanne as 'x'.

For Store A, Joanne will earn a flat rate of $60,000 per day, regardless of the sales, and an additional 4% of the sales. So her total earnings at Store A can be calculated as:

1. Flat rate: $60,000
2. Additional commission: 4% * x

For Store B, Joanne will earn a flat rate of $30,000 per day and an additional 10% of the sales. So her total earnings at Store B can be calculated as:

1. Flat rate: $30,000
2. Additional commission: 10% * x

Now we need to compare the total earnings from both stores. We want Store B to be a better offer, which means Joanne's earnings at Store B should be greater than her earnings at Store A:

Store B earnings > Store A earnings

So we can set up an inequality:

$30,000 + 10% * x > $60,000 + 4% * x

Simplifying the inequality:

$30,000 + 0.1 * x > $60,000 + 0.04 * x

Combining like terms:

0.1 * x - 0.04 * x > $60,000 - $30,000

Simplifying further:

0.06 * x > $30,000

Now, let's solve for x:

x > $30,000 / 0.06

x > $500,000

Therefore, Joanne's sales need to be greater than $500,000 for Store B to be a better offer.
