For Company A, the total earnings (E_A) can be represented as E_A = 560 + 0.16S, where S is the sales amount. For Company B, the total earnings (E_B) can be represented as E_B = 1120 + 0.08S. To find the point where Company A's offer becomes better, we set E_A > E_B, leading to 560 + 0.16S > 1120 + 0.08S. Simplifying this, we get 0.08S > 560, and solving for S gives S > 7000. Therefore, Company A's offer is better for sales amounts above $7000.
