Liz earns a salary of $2,300 per month, plus a commission of 8% of her sales. She wants to earn at least
$2,800 this month. Enter an inequality to find amounts of sales that will meet her goal. Identify what your
variable represents. Enter the commission rate as a decimal.

Answer 1

Inequality: 0.08x + 2300 ≥ 2800

Liz needs to sell products of $6250 at least.

Explanation:

Given that:

Per month salary of Liz = $2300

Commission = 8% =
`(8)/(100)}` = 0.08

Amount Liz wants to earn = $2800

Let,

x be the amount of sales.

0.08x + 2300 ≥ 2800

0.08x ≥ 2800 - 2300

0.08x ≥ 500

Dividing both sides by 0.08

`(0.08x)/(0.08)\geq (500)/(0.08)\\x\geq 6250`

Hence,

Liz needs to sell products of $6250 at least.
