28 items but I don't know how to Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
what she earns depends on the items she sells
let x be the number of items sold
so 25x is what she earns without the base weekly payment
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
so with the 100 it would be 25x+100
you need to set so that she earns at least 700
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
show me how would you do that
OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
her earning is this equation y=2x+10
turn that to inequality

25/100=25
