Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900. Suppose Salesmen A and B have the same number of sales and earn the same amount in Week 4 of this month. How many sales must they both have had?

Based on the amount that both Salesmen A and B earn per sale, the number of sales they both had was 12 sales.

Salesman A gets $65 per sale and Saleman B gets $300 and $40 per sale.

Assuming the number of sales to take them both to the same amount is x, the relevant formulas would be:

65x = 300 + 40x

Solving gives:

65x - 40x = 300

25x = 300

x = 300 / 25

= 12 sales

The amount that both of them earned is:

= 65 x 12

= $780

= 300 + 40 x 12

= $780
