can anyone solve this math problem?"You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers?

You are offered two different sales jobs. The first company offers a straight commission of 5% of the sales. The second company offers a salary of $ 390 per week plus 3% of the sales. How much would you have to sell in a week in order for the straight commission offer to be at least as good?

about $ 20,000 is 2% give or take, you would have to sell 50,000 to break even

    Do your algebra:

    .05X = 390 + .03X

    Solve for X.

    It sounds like the second job is better. Because, even if you are not able to make the target to get the commission, you will get the basic salary.
    Now you answer my question in ‘ EASY MONEY’, please!
