Explanation:

16,875

Answer 2

The minimum sales should be $16,875.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Her job pays her $3,475 per month plus a commission of 4% of her total sales.

Let the total sales is x.

Thus the amount Kimuyen earn
`3475+0.04x`

Kimuyen needs to earn $4,150 per month in order to pay all her expenses.

Therefore, Kimuyen can earn more than 4150 but not less than it.

`3475+0.04x\geq 4150`

`0.04x\geq 4150-3475`

`0.04x\geq 675`

`x\geq (675)/(0.04)`

`x\geq 16875`

Hence, the minimum sales should be $16,875.
