Asalesperson works 40 hours per week at a job where she has two options for being paid. option a is an hourly wage of $22. option b is a commission rate of 4% on weekly sales. how much does she need to sell this week two are the same amount with the two options?

Answer=$44,000

Given the data, the following equation can be made where x is equal to the amount needed to sell to make the same amount as the hourly wage.

40*22=0.02*x
880=0.02*x
divide both sides by 0.02
44000=x

She needs to sell $44,000 in a week to earn the same amount as she would with an hourly wage.
