Answer 2

Let x = amount of sales

 

 

Since we want Company A to have the better offer, company A must have greater earnings.

 

Company A = 0.14x + 420

Company B = 0.07x + 840

 

 

Set up this inequality

 

Company A > Company B

 

0.14x + 420 > 0.07x + 840

 

 

Solve the inequality for x.  If the amount of sales is a dollar amount, then round your answer to the nearest cent.
