Fernando is starting a new sales job and needs to decide which of two salary plans to choose from. For Plan A, he will earn $100/week plus 15% commission on all sales. For Plan B, he will earn $150/week plus 10% commission on all sales.

a. Write an expression for each salary plan if \(s\) is Fernando's total weekly sales.

b. For what amount of weekly sales is Plan B better than Plan A?

Expression A: S= 100+ 100(0.15y) y=Commission
Expression B: S= 150+ 150(0.10y)
Now to get Part B done. Plug in numbers for Y and use the results as the sales continue to increases. For example, start with 5 sales, then go to 10 then 15, and so on and so fourth. Hope I was able help you understand the question a little bit more! :)

a)
Expression for plan A:
Total weekly earnings = 100 + 100 15 ​ s
Expression for plan B:
Total weekly earnings = 150 + 100 10 ​ s
b)
As long as s is less than 1000 plan B is profitable. ;

The expressions for Fernando's earnings are: Plan A: 100 + 0.15 s and Plan B: 150 + 0.10 s . Plan B is more profitable when his total weekly sales are less than $1000.
