Working on commission 2001-02-17
From Jay:
Ron the realtor is offered a job directly out of real-estate school. He has a choice as to which way he will receive his salary the first year.

Salary Plan 1: He would receive a base pay of $2000 per month plus a 3% commission on each sale.

Salary Plan 2: No base pay but a 6% commission on each sale.


Write an equation to determine when it would be better to switch from the first plan to the second plan. Give a one- or two-sentence answer that includes Ron`s sales in a month. Round to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
