Question

As a salesperson, you are paid $100 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $160. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.

Answer 1

100 + 3s ≥ 160; s ≥ 20

Explanation:

Answer 2

First, you would need to create an equation for this problem. Let x represent the number of sales made.
$100 + $3x = $160

Next, you would need to isolate the x.

Subtract $100 from both sides.
$3x = $60

Now, all you would need to do is divide both sides by $3.
x = 20

You would need to make at least 20 sales.

I hope this helps!
