2-85.
Berti is the Shape Factory's top employee. She has received awards every month for having the top sales figures so far for the year. If she
stays on top, she will receive a $5000 bonus for excellence. She currently has sold 16, 250 shapes and continues to sell 340 per month.
Since there are eight months left in the sales year, Sarita is working hard to catch up. While she has only sold 8, 830 shapes, she is working
overtime and on weekends so that she can sell 1, 082 per month. Will Sarita catch up with Berti before the end of the sales year? If so, when?
