Question

can anyone help me make the inequality for..... A salesperson earns $350.25 per week plus 12% of her weekly sales. Which of the following describes the sales necessary for the salesperson to earn at least $800.50 in one week?

Answer 1

is that a complete question ?

Answer 2

yea

Answer 3

ok so we know that $350.25 is a fixed rate that he is get even if his sales are 0. however we also know that for every sales he does, he gets 12% of it. and we know that his goal is $800.50

if you substract 800.50 - 350.25 = 450.25

therefore he needs to do enough sale that he earns 450.25 from it apart from 350.25 that he is getting

Answer 4

ok so it would be x<= 450.25

Answer 5

x>=450.25? i mean

Answer 6

what does x stand for in your inequality ?

Answer 7

im not sure that is how its set up on the page like thata one of the answers

Answer 8

that 450.25 was wrong it was 3752.08

Answer 9

ok. so x is the amount of money that will satisfy his needs. we figured out that with his sale he needs atleast 450.25 from sales to reach his goal. therefore the inequality is x>= 450.25

where x is money earned by sales. if he earns less then 450.25 then he will not reach his goal but he can earn more than 450.25 to exceed his goal.
