Levi has a job offer in which he will receive $800 per month plus a commission of 2% of the total price of the cars that he sells. At his current job, he receives $1200 per month plus a commission of 1.5% of his total sales. How much must he sell per month to make the new job a better deal than his current job? Define variables, write a system of equations, and solve.

Answer:

Levi must sell more than 80000 cars per month for the new job to be better than the current job.

Step-by-step explanation:

New Job;

He receives $800 per month plus a commission of 2% or 0.02 of the total price of the cars.

Now, let the total amount he receives in a month be "y" and let the amount of cars sold be x.

Thus;

y = 800 + 0.02x - - - -(eq1)

Current Job:

He receives $1200 per month plus a commission of 1.5% or 0.015 of his total sales.

Thus;

y = 1200 + 0.015x - - - (eq2)

Substituting 800 + 0.02x for y into eq(2) gives;

800 + 0.02x = 1200 + 0.015x

0.02x - 0.015x = 1200 - 800

0.005x = 400

x = 400/0.005

x = 80000

This means Levi must sell more than 80000 cars per month for the new job to be better than the current job.
