A salesperson earns $200 per week plus a commission equal to 4% of her sales. This week her goal is to earn no less than $450. Write and solve an inequality to find the amount of sales she must have to reach her goal. Can anyone help me with this? I keep trying to solve this but I am so confused. I have already subtracted the $200 weekly from $450 to get $250. But I can't get the rest.

your equation will be 4% * s + $200 >= $450

I'm pretty sure. I just need to figure out 4% of what number equals 250. But I just figured out how to do that so, yes, I'm pretty sure I've got it. Thank you so much.
