Question

13. Sharon earns $25 per item she sells plus a base salary of $100 per week. Write and solve an inequality to find how many items she must sell to earn at least $700 per week. Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.

Answer 1

25x + 100 > = 700

Subtract 100 from both sides
25x > = 600
Divide both sides by 25
x > = 24
Sharon must sell at least 24 items in order to earn at least $700 per week.
