Keshad gets paid $2,399 per month plus 3% of his sales. His brother earns $3,067 per month. For what amount of total sales will Keshad's monthly pay be higher than his brother's monthly pay? (Your answer should be accurate to 2 decimal places.)

3067 - 2399 = 668
668 / 0.03 = $22,266.67

Check:
3067 = 2399 + 0.03(22,266.67)
3067 = 2399 + 668
3067 = 3067 :)

Keshad needs to have at least $22,266.67 in sales to make more money than his brother
