Question

Yvonne is a salesperson who earns a fixed amount of $1,850 per month. She also earns a commission of 4% on the amount of goods that she sells. If she wants to earn more than $2,300 in one month, how many dollars (x) in goods must she sell?

Answer 1

Answer:

she needs to earn atleast 376 dollars more

Answer 2

Answer: x>11250

Step-by-step explanation:

Your x value has to be the amount of goods and because she earns an extra 4% commission it would have to be written as 0.04x added to the fixed amount of 1850 per month. And this would have to be greater than 2300 because she wants to make MORE than 2300.

So the inequality would look like this: 0.04x+1850>2300

Then you solve like a regular inequality by subtracting 1850 from each side and then dividing by 0.04 to get x>11250
