Company A has a sales position with a yearly salary of $42,000. Company B has a similar sales position with a slary of $39,000 plus 1% conmission on yearly sales.

Let x be the amount of yearly sales

Company A has a sales position with a yearly salary of $42,000.

yearly salary = 42,000

Company B has a similar sales position with a salary of $39,000 plus 1% commission on yearly sales.

1% is 0.01

yearly salary = 39,000+ 0.01x

yearly sales is the salary at company A greater than the salary and conmission at company B

A > B

42000 > 39000+ 0.01x

We solve the inequality

39000+ 0.01x < 42000

Subtract 39000 on both sides

0.01x < 3000

divide by 0.01

x> 300,000

For yearly sales > $300,000, the salary at company A greater than the salary and commission at company B
