Answer 3

do you have option

Answer 4

let sale = x

Answer 5

No options :/ It's like a free response one.

Answer 6

now calculate the payment he will get

Answer 7

Yes, I put in a random number for x and narrowed it down to 7000 dollars

Answer 8

\[350+x *\frac{ 7 }{ 100 }\]

Answer 9

that one for A

Answer 10

So B i: 630 + x * .03

Answer 11

B is*

Answer 12

\[630+x*\frac{ 3 }{ 100 }\]

Answer 13

Yes, so if x is $7000, then Chris should pick plan "A" when sales are greater that: $7000 correct?

Answer 14

so for this

\[350+\frac{ 7x }{ 100}>630+\frac{ 3x }{ 100 }\]

Answer 15

subtract 350 from both side

Answer 16

\[7x \div100 > 280 + 3x \div100\]

Answer 17

now multiply by 100 both side

Answer 18

\[700x \div100 > 3x\]

Answer 19

7x>3x

Answer 20

loll 280 is also there

Answer 21

Crap, lol hold up.

Answer 22

\[\frac{ 7x }{ 100 }*100>280*100+\frac{ 3x }{ 100 }*100\]

Answer 23

now give me equation after cancelling 100

Answer 24

7x> 28000 + 3x

Answer 25

4x > 28000

Answer 26

x > 7000

Answer 27
