Demarcus Harrington · Answer 1

To answer this item, we let x be the amount of sales for each of them. Their weekly earnings would be as follows,

Rico:

750 + 0.05x

Sean:

1100 + 0.025x

Equating both expressions,

750 + 0.05x = 1100 + 0.025x

Simplifying,

0.025x = 350

The value of x from the equation is 14000.

Answer: $14,000.
