Answer 1

x ≥ 25

Explanation:

The company sold 20 cars this week.

Let the company will sell x cars next week.

Now, it has been given that their goal is to sell at least 25% more next week.

So, first find 25% of 20.

25% of 20

= 0.25 × 20

= 5

Therefore, company will sell at least 20 + 5 = 25 cars next week. At least means ≥

So, mathematically we have

x ≥ 25

Answer 2

Twenty-five percent (25%) of 20 is equal to 5. Therefore, the company is planning or targeting to sell at least 25 cars next week. We let the number of cars be x. The inequality that best represent the scenario above is,
