Question

At his job Lee earns $350 per week plus a 7% commission on his sales s. He wants to earn at least $700 this week. Write an inequality that represents this situation

Answer 1

`\[350+(7)/(100)*s\geqslant 700\]`

Explanation:

Fixed income of Lee per week = $350

Let the Sales conducted by Lee during the week be represented by s.

Lee earns 7% additional commission on his sales.

So total weekly earning of Lee can be represented by:

`\[350+(7)/(100)*s\]`

He wants to earn a minimum of $700 per week.

That means, the required inequality can be expressed as:

`\[350+(7)/(100)*s\geqslant 700\]`
