A salesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where he has two options for being paid. Option A is an hourly wage of ​18$. Option B is a commission rate of ​8% on weekly sales. How much does he need to sell this week to earn the same amount with the two​ options?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$9000

Step-by-step explanation:

First find how much is made in a week by option A

40*18=720

In order to match this the salesperson must make $720 from 8% commissions. Divide 720 by 0.08 to get the necessary sales for $720 from commissions.

720/0.08=9000

Final answer is 9000 in sales.
