John and Wesley both work for telephone companies installing internet connections into new homes, but they do
not work for the same company.
John's paycheck at the end of the month includes his base
pay of $2,000 and his commission of $65.25 for each
installation he makes that month. Wesley is paid $380 plus
a commission of $105.75 for each installation he makes
each month.
In September of last year, they both made the same
number of installations and they both earned the same
amount of money.
