John left a job paying $75,000 per year to accept a sales job paying $45,000 per year plus 15 percent commission. If each of his sales is for $750, what is the least number of sales he must make per year if he is not to lose money because of the change? Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 40
B) 200
C) 266
D) 267
E) 600
In order not to lose money because of the change John's total commission must beat least$75,000-$45,000=$30,000, so total sales must beat least$30,000/0.15=$200,000. Which means that he must makeat least$200,000/750=800/3=266.6 sales, so 267 sales.   Answer: 267.
