To qualify for a sales award, Robert Retail must have more than $15000 in sales of a particular laptop computer. The computer sells for $599. How many computers must Mr. Retail sell in order to qualify for the award? Write an inequality to model this situation. Let c = the number of computers. Do not use any spaces when writing the inequality.

599c > 15,000

How'd you get that

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Think about it. Robert Retail want to have more than 15,000 dollars by selling computers. Now the computers cost 599 dollars, and c represent the amount of computers. Remember, he wants more than 15,000. So it should be a greater than sign. He's getting over 15,000 dollars by selling a certain amount of computers. 599c represent the amount of money he is earning from the amount of computer he is selling. Your inequality should finally look like: 599c > 15,000.
