    Answer

    $8,400

    Explanation

    For option A, the salesperson would earn;

    $21 * 40 = $840.

    For the salesperson to earn the same, we should calculate as follows:

    Let x be the amount he/she sells.

    10% of x = $840

    10% * x = $840

    0.10x = $840

    x = 840/0.10

    = $8,400
