Answer:
[tex] T = R[/tex]
[tex] 925 +0.05 x = 1250 +0.03 x[/tex]
Subtracting 0.03x from both sides we got:
[tex] 925 +0.02 x = 1250[/tex]
And now subtracting 925 from both sides we got:
[tex] 0.02 x = 325[/tex]
And dividing by 0.02 both sides we got:
[tex] x = 16250[/tex]
So then we need a total 16250 for the amount of sales in order to have the same amount for Ramon and Teresa at the end of the week
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we can assume that the total salary for Teresa T is given by:
[tex] T = 925 + 0.05 x[/tex]
Where x represent the amount of sales. And similarly for the total salary of Ramon we have:
[tex] R = 1250 +0.03 x[/tex]
We want to find what amount of sales, x, will result in each of them earning the same amount for the week and we can set up the following equation:
[tex] T = R[/tex]
[tex] 925 +0.05 x = 1250 +0.03 x[/tex]
Subtracting 0.03x from both sides we got:
[tex] 925 +0.02 x = 1250[/tex]
And now subtracting 925 from both sides we got:
[tex] 0.02 x = 325[/tex]
And dividing by 0.02 both sides we got:
[tex] x = 16250[/tex]
So then we need a total 16250 for the amount of sales in order to have the same amount for Ramon and Teresa at the end of the week
