anonymous · Answer

We want $800 + 2% of the sales to be greater than $1600.
If we denote the sales with x, we have:

$$800+\frac{ 2 }{ 100 }x > 1600$$
Subtracting 800 from both sides:
$$\frac{ 2 }{ 100 }x > 800$$
Dividing both sides by 2:
$$\frac{ 1 }{ 100 }x > 400$$
Multiplying both sides by 100:
$$x > 400 *100 $$
Making the 400*100 multiplication
$$x > 40000$$

So the correct answer would be A.

(In my opinion income of at least $1600 denotes greater or equal operator,
but if those are the possible answers, that's ok.)
