Penelope and Owen work at a furniture store. Penelope is paid $215 per week plus 3.5% of her total sales in dollars, xx, which can be represented by g(x)=215+0.035x. Owen is paid $242 per week plus 2.5% of his total sales in dollars, xx, which can be represented by f(x)=242+0.025x. Determine the value of xx, in dollars, that will make their weekly pay the same.

Set the pay functions of Owen and Penelope equal to each other:
215+0.035x = 242+0.025x

Using our equation calculator, we get:
x = 2700
