Shawn has been hired as a sales associate for horizon phone company. he has two salary options. he can either receive a salary of $800 per week or a salary of $475 per week plus a 8% commission of weekly sales. how much in sales must shawn generate in order for the second option of commission to be a better salary choice? 12 points. .

So, the answer is not clear. There is no certain amount, only greater than a certain value. The first choice has $800, and the second one had $475 plus 8 percent commission. The initial salary difference is $325, so he needs to make more than $325 from 8 percent. To find out an exact a threshold, we have to use proportions.
8/100 = 325/x is what you should use. Calculating it, you get a threshold of $4,062.50. This is the exact amount needed to balance out the two. He needs more than $4,062.50. The inequality for this would be,
x > $4062.50. I hope I got the question right, and sorry for over explaining, hope you get it now.

3x+9+4x+x=8x+9that's the answer for your question.
