(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Step-by-step explanation:

For how to graph this, best to look at the guidelines for graphing a break-even formula.

What we do want to know is where these two values equal each other.

So, set:  400 + 0.20X = 800 + 0.10X

Subtract 400 from both sides; also subtract 0.10X from both sides, to get:

0.10X = 400

To solve for "X", divide out both sides by:  0.10, to get:

X = 4,000

What can can glean from this, is that:

(1)  The sales person is better off accepting the higher base salary, up to the point of sales being no more than $4,000;

(2)  The sales person is better off accepting the lower base salary, if their sales are normally expected to exceed $4,000.
