Sabrina is contemplating a job switch. She is thinking of leaving her job paying $85,000 per year to accept a sales job paying $40,000 per year plus 15 percent commission for each sale made. If each of her sales is for $1,500, what is the least number of sales she must make per year if she is not to lose money because of the job change?	Choices:
A) 200  B) 177  C) 178  D) 377  E) 378
Lets say she sales x items so her commission will be : x * 1500*15/100 = 225x   Salary difference is:   85000 - 40000= 
<gadget id="calculator">  85000 - 40000</gadget>
<output>45_000</output>
45000   So commission must at least be equal to salary difference i.e. x= 45000/225= 
<gadget id="calculator">45000/225</gadget>
<output>200</output>
200 (Approx).   Hence answer is 200
