Question

What is the minimum number of bikes Tony must sell in one week to earn a weekly salary of $500

Answer 1

i don't know, we need you to give us the other values of the problem

that is the amount of money he gets for a bike

Answer 2

ok i work it out and i got this b<40/3 ill type the problem to you

Answer 3

it says Tony works at a bike store. Tony earns $300 every week plus $15 for every bike that he sells.

Answer 4

first you wanna set the number of bikes to x

now he needs to get a weekly sallary of 500$

he starts with 300 dollars of sallry, and needs to use the bike sales then to make up for it

so thats 300 + 15x

Answer 5

Well the paper says set it up using B for bike which is what i did i got the same thing as you i did it like this T=$300+$15b so the T stands for tony and the B for bikes so after i wrote it as an inequality like they ask and i got 500<300+15b and when i solved it i got b<40/3 because you can't dived 15 to 200 so i had to dived both by 5 and i got a fraction thats was 40/3

Answer 6

\[500<300+15b\]

Answer 7

alright so round it to the nearest whole number

Answer 8

I did and you can not break down 40/3 anymore so i think that's my answer

Answer 9

but! you can't sell 13.33333333333 bikes

you can though sell 14 bikes

so your answer is 14

Answer 10

so when you took 200/15 and got 13.3 all you did was round it and you got 14 bikes so my answer would be b<14

Answer 11

how are you rounding 13.3 to 14 if you don't have any number higher then 5

Answer 12

because if you sell 13 bikes you dont get more then 500 dollars

but you cant sell 0.3 bikes

you CAN though sell 14 bikes and the question also says the minimum amount of bikes sold to achieve 500 dollars

i hope that helps

Answer 13

Ya it does thanks
