salesperson a ' s compensation for any week is $ 240 plus 6 percent of the portion of a ' s total sales above $ 1,000 for that week . salesperson b ' s compensation for any week is 8 percent of b ' s total sales for that week . for what amount of total weekly sales would both salespeople earn the same compensation ?
"240 + 0.06 ( x - 1000 ) = 0.08 x 0.02 x = 180 x = $ 9,000 the answer is b ."
divide(add(divide(subtract(240, multiply(divide(6, const_100), 1,000)), subtract(divide(8, const_100), divide(6, const_100))), divide(subtract(240, multiply(divide(6, const_100), 1,000)), subtract(divide(8, const_100), divide(6, const_100)))), 1,000)
