Question

Tyshawna and Jean both work at a sneaker store and make a fifthteen dollar commission for every sneaker sold. However, Jean makes a flat rate of 75 dollars a day because he has been working at the store longer than Tyshawna. Tyshawna makes a flat rate of 65 dollars a day.

(a. Will Tyshawn and Jean ever make the same amount of money in a day? Why or why not?

Answer 1

yes, because the total pay is based on how many shoes are sold and not how long one has been there so if Tyshawna sells more shoes her or his pay rate will rise.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Since Jean makes a higher flat rate than Tyshawna, they won't make the same amount in a day. Jean makes a flat rate of 75 dollars a day, while Tyshawna makes a flat rate of 65 dollars a day. Tyshawna is only a few flat rates behind. Although it would seem like they could make the same amount, they wouldn't be able to. If they both had the same flat rate, they would be making the same amount almost everyday.

I hope I helped :)
