    The correct answer is 80 cable packages.

    The following equation will solve this problem, where x equals the number of cable packages.

    14,000 + 100x = 20,000 + 25x

    First, subtract 25x from both sides:

    14,000 + 75x = 20,000

    Next, subtract 14,000 from both sides;

    75x = 6,000

    Finally, divide both sides by 75.

    X = 80

    Therefore, the answer is 80 cable packages.

    He would have to sell 80 packages to make the total pay the same.

    Explanation:

    You will have to write the equation with the information given:

    14,000+100x=20,000+25x

    Then, you have to solve the equation for x that is the number of cable packages:

    100x-25x=20,000-14,000

    75x=6,000

    x=6,000/75

    x = 80
