Nice Question

Thanks for asking this !!!

Here is your answer which you are searching for

Earnings of me

Given ,

125 per week

18% commission on sales which I made

125 + 18 sales X

Earning of my best friend

Given ,

85 per week

21% commission on all sales

85 + 21 sales Y

If Earnings of me = Earnings of my friend

125 + 18 Sales X = 85 +21 Sales Y

If Total Earning were the same for me and my friend then We can say that Sales X = Sales Y

125+18 Salesboth=85+21 salesboth

= .03 salesboth=40 Salesboth

= $\frac{40}{.03}$

= $\frac{4000}{3}$

$= \boxed{1333} Answer$

Answer 2

Earning of my b friend
Given ,

85 per week

21% commission on all sales

85 + 21 sales Y

If Earnings of me = Earnings of my friend

125 + 18 Sales X = 85 +21 Sales Y

If Total Earning were the same for me and my friend then

so, We can write that Sales X = Sales Y
125+18 Salesboth=85+21 salesboth

= .03 salesboth=40 Salesboth

= 40/0.3

3/4000
​

= 1333 is the answer to the question
