The expression 320 + 0.08x shows the earning of a salesperson for her weekly sales.

To earn at least $1000, we have:

320 + 0.08x > =1000

Subtracting 320 from both sides, we get:

0.08x >= 680

Now we need to Divide the above expression by 0.08 both sides,

So, we get:

x >= 8500

Therefore, to earn at least $1000 in one week, the salesperson needs the sales of greater than or equal to $8500.
