Question

You are considering two job offers selling cell phones. The first job offers $400 a week plus $5 for every cell phone you sell. The second pays $325 a week plus $8 for every cell phone you sell. Show how you created the model (i.e. explain what each part of the model is being used to represent). How many cell phones do you need to sell for the two job offers to be the same?

Answer 1

You need to sell 10 phones for the second job and 1 phone for the first job.

Step-by-step explanation: 8x10 = 80

First job: 325 + 80 = 405

Second job: 400 + 5 = 405
