For Company A, the total earnings can be represented as $160 + 0.08x$, and for Company B, it can be represented as $320 + 0.04x$, where $x$ is the amount of sales. To find when Company A's offer is better, we set $160 + 0.08x > 320 + 0.04x$. Solving this inequality for $x$ gives $x > 4000$. Therefore, Company A's offer is better for sales amounts above $4000.
