Okay, so in this problem, you have two different pay schedules.
00:06
So the first one, the pay is determined by 6 % of your sales.
00:11
So 6%, that's just 0 .06 times x, where x is your sales.
00:18
The second formula is determined by taking, you automatically start with 500, then you get added 3 % of your sales.
00:32
Okay, so the question here is, at what, how many sales, do you have to make so that both pay schedules are the same? so we want the straight commission to be better, which means if we solve for them to be the same, it'll be the one above it.
00:51
So for word problems, i do like to come up to the side and write what each variable stands for.
01:01
And so x stands for sales, capital p stands for your actual pay.
01:09
Okay, so like i said, we need to figure out when these are equal to each other.
01:12
So i'm just going to set them equal to each other...
