His salary for 40 hours per week with an hourly rate is hours x the rate:

40 hours x $22 per hour = $880 per week.

If he is paid commission, to make the same , he needs to make $880 iin commissions.

The commission rate is 4%, to find how much sales is needed divide the amount he needs to make ( $880) by the rate:

880/ 4% = 880/ 0.04 = $22,000

He needs to sell $22,000

the weekly sales are $8,800 to earn the similar amount with the two options

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The earnings in option A is

= 40 hours × $22

= $880

Now let us assume the weekly sales be x

So the equation would be

10%x = $880

0.10x = $880

x = $8,800

Hence, the weekly sales are $8,800 to earn a similar amount with the two options

Answer=$44,000

Given the data, the following equation can be made where x is equal to the amount needed to sell to make the same amount as the hourly wage.

40*22=0.02*x
880=0.02*x
divide both sides by 0.02
44000=x

She needs to sell $44,000 in a week to earn the same amount as she would with an hourly wage.
