Question

A car sales associate receives a monthly salary of $1,700 a month plus $140 for every car he sells. How many cars must he sell to earn at least $4,500?

Answer 1

20 cars

Explanation:

He wants 4500

He makes 1700 salary

4500-1700=2800

Now you need to divide the remaining 2800 needed by the 140 he gets per car he sells

2800÷140=20

So he needs to sell 20 cars
