A salesperson earns a base salary of $400 per week plus 20%
commission on sales. He is offered double his base salary if he'll
accept half his original commission. Graph and label the original deal
and the new deal below. Next to the graph, find when the original deal
is a better choice. Explain your thinking.

Step-by-step explanation:

For how to graph this, best to look at the guidelines for graphing a break-even formula.

What we do want to know is where these two values equal each other.

So, set:  400 + 0.20X = 800 + 0.10X

Subtract 400 from both sides; also subtract 0.10X from both sides, to get:

0.10X = 400

To solve for "X", divide out both sides by:  0.10, to get:

X = 4,000

What can can glean from this, is that:

(1)  The sales person is better off accepting the higher base salary, up to the point of sales being no more than $4,000;

(2)  The sales person is better off accepting the lower base salary, if their sales are normally expected to exceed $4,000.
