Question

Sharon earns $25 per item she sells plus a base salary of $100 per week. Write and solve an inequality to find how many items she must sell to earn at least $700 per week. Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.

Answer 1

so let the no. of items sold be 'x'.
she earns 25x dollars from the items she sells, plus the 100 dollars base salary.
so she earns a total of 25x + 100 dollars.
now her income should be more than 700 bucks, right?
so, turns out ---> 25x+100>700

helps?
