Alexa and samantha work at a furniture store. alexa is paid $250 per week plus 9.5% of her total sales in dollars, xx, which can be represented by g(x)=250+0.095xg(x)=250+0.095x. samantha is paid $413 per week plus 8.5% of her total sales in dollars, xx, which can be represented by f(x)=413+0.085xf(x)=413+0.085x. determine the value of xx, in dollars, that will make their weekly pay the same.

As per the statement:

Here, x represents the total sales in dollars

Total weekly pay of Alexa in dollar is represented by:

and

Total weekly pay of Samantha in dollar is represented by:

We have to find the value of x, in dollars that will make their weekly pay the same.
