350 + 10 \ percent \ of sales \ \textgreater \ = 800


350 + 10 \ percent \ of sales \ \textgreater \ = 800


350 + 10 \ percent \ * sales \ \textgreater \ = 800


10/100 * sales \ \textgreater \ = 800 - 350


1/10 * sales \ \textgreater \ = 450 /*10


sales \ \textgreater \ = 450 * 10


sales \ \textgreater \ = 4500

If you would like to find the sales necessary for the salesperson to earn at least 800 in one week, you can calculate this using the following steps:

s ... weekly sales
350 + 10% of sales >= 800
350 + 10% of s >= 800
350 + 10% * s >= 800
10/100 * s >= 800 - 350
1/10 * s >= 450 /*10
s >= 450 * 10
s >= 4500

The correct result would be: weekly sales >= 4500.
