José and Maris work for different car dealerships. José earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 8% commission on sales. Maris earns a monthly salary of $3,900 plus a 6% commission on sales. Above what value of sales are José's monthly earnings more than those of Maris?

When sales are greater than 2000 then  José's monthly earnings sre more than those of Maris.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x= Total sales

For José, monthly salary = $3,500

Commission percentage =  8% =0.08

Monthly earnings= Monthly salary + (Commission percentage) x (Total sales)

Monthly earnings= 3500 +0.08 x

For Maris, monthly salary = $3,900

Commission percentage =  6%

Monthly earnings= 3900 +0.06 x

When José's monthly earnings > Maris's monthly earnings

then, 3500 +0.08 x > 3900 +0.06 x

Subtract 3500 from both sides, we get

0.08 x > 400+0.06x

Subtract 0.06x from both sides, we get

0.02x>400

Divide both sides b 0.02

x> 20000

When sales are greater than 2000 then  José's monthly earnings sre more than those of Maris.
