Correct question:
A company's goal is that every month, they will sell 10% more than what was sold the previous year. The CEO considers it a success if they can be within 10% of that goal. The previous year's sales for April totaled $20,000
Which inequality describes the situation.
a. |x-2,000| ≤ 22,000
b. |x-22,000|≤ 2,200
c. |x-2,200| ≤ 22,000
d. |x-22,000| ≤ 2,000
e. None of the above
b. |x-22,000|≤ 2,200
Given:
A company's goal is that every month, they will sell 10% more
than what was sold the previous year. The CEO considers it
a success if they can be within 10% of that goal.
The previous year's sales for April totaled $20,000.
To find:
The correct option
Solution:
Previous year sales = $20,000
Company's goal for this present month = 20,000 * (110/100)
= 200 * 110
= $ 22,000
10% of present goal is (10/100) * 22000 = 2200
Success is if sale is within 10%, hence within 2200.
Hence, |x-22,000|≤ 2,200
