Anyone know how to do this, i'm not sure. Sharon earns $25 per item she sells plus a base salary of $100 per week. Write and solve an inequality to find how many items she must sell to earn at least $700 per week. Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

100 + 25x >= 700

OpenStudy (welshfella):

subtract 100 from both sides 25x >= 600 can you continue to find the vales of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

150?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

no you divide both sides by 25 ( as you would do if it was an equation)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks 24

OpenStudy (welshfella):

that correct so x >= 24 Conclusion:- To earn 700 dollars or more Sharon must sell at least 24 items.
