ben left a job paying $ 75000 per year to accept a sales job paying $ 45000 per year plus 15 percent commission . if each of his sales is for $ 750 , what is the least number of sales he must make per year if he is not to lose money because of the change ?
in order not to lose money because of the change ben ' s total commission must beat least $ 75,000 - $ 45,000 = $ 30,000 , so total sales must beat least $ 30,000 / 0.15 = $ 200,000 . which means that he must makeat least $ 200,000 / 750 = 800 / 3 = 266.6 sales , so 267 sales . answer : d .
divide(divide(subtract(75000, 45000), divide(15, const_100)), 750)
