3. Suppose that you work part-time as a sales representative at a car dealership. You earn a base salary of $125 per week plus 18% commission on all sales that you make. Your best friend has exactly the same job at another car dealership but earns a base salary of $85 per week plus a 21% commission on all sales. How much do you and your friend need to sell in order to earn the same amount in any given week?
