As a salesperson for an electronic parts distributor, you are given two options for your salary structure. The first option has a base salary of $300 a week plus 4% of all sales made. The second option has a base salary of $100 plus 7.5% commission on all sales. Find the sales amount that will result in the two options having the same weekly salary.

Answer:

The amount of sale is approximately 5714.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sales made that will result to the same salary and let y be the same weekly salary.

We can represent both salaries as follows:

300 + 0.04x = y

100 + 0.075x = y

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have:

200 – 0.035x = 0

0.035x= 200

x = 200/0.035

x ≈ 5714.

Therefore, the amount of sale is approximately 5714.
