We have a product that we sell for the prices between $15,000$ and $30,000$ depending on various options and services. There is a company that wants to resell our product, and I'm keen to give them an incentive to sell more valuable packages. We have agreed a revenue split that is given below.




  1. for a $15000$ product the reseller can add $4500$ on top ($30$%) for a total end price of $19500$

  2. for a $30000$ product the reseller can add $12000$ on top ($40$%) for a total end price of $42000$

there should be a sliding scale between $30$% and $40$% depending on either the value of the product from us or the end price to the customer.



I'd like to be able to describe this mathematically so that I can code a little calculator for them but I'm really struggling to find an approach.



Ta, Andrew

  • Are you envisioning a linear relationship between the original price and the percent added?

One way to solve your problem is to use linear interpolation. For your problem, we have $$fracy-30x-15000=frac40-3030000-15000 implies y = fracx1500+20.$$
Here, $x$ is the product price (e.g. $x=15000,20000,25000$ etc.), and $y$ is the profit percentage.
