a.

Answer to Problem 1PS
Wage of salesperson is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
As a salesperson, you receive a monthly salary of $2000, plus a commission of 7% of sales. You receive an offer for a new job at $2300 per month, plus a commission of 5% of sales.
Calculation:
Monthly salary = $2000 plus a commission of 7% of sales.
Total Wage is sum of monthly salary and commission.
b.

Answer to Problem 1PS
Wage of salesperson from new job
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
As a salesperson, you receive a monthly salary of $2000, plus a commission of 7% of sales. You receive an offer for a new job at $2300 per month, plus a commission of 5% of sales. Write
Calculation:
Monthly salary for new job = $2300 plus a commission of 5% of sales.
Total Wage is sum of monthly salary and commission.

Given Information:
As a salesperson, you receive a monthly salary of $2000, plus a commission of 7% of sales. You receive an offer for a new job at $2300 per month, plus a commission of 5% of sales
Calculation:
Expected sale is of $20,000 per month.
From part (a), we have
From part (b), we have
Now, putting
Here
That implies no need to change the job; you get more money from your current job.
