Can someone tell me how to solve this word problem?

Kenisha sells athletic shoes part-tim at a department store. She can earn either $500 per month plus 4% commission on her total sales, or $400 per month plus 5% commission on total sales. What is the total price of the athletic shoes Kenisha needs to sell to earn the same income from each pay scale?

Can someone tell me how to solve this word problem?
Set it up like this...


500 + .04x = 400 + .05x





Then solve for x
