Question

You earn $130.00 for each subscription of magazines you sell plus a salary of $90.00 per week. How many subscriptions of magazines do you need to sell in order to make at least $1000.00 each week?

Answer 1

Let's assume that the number of magazine subscriptions you sell in a week is "x".

Then, your earnings from selling magazine subscriptions would be:

130x dollars

Your base salary is $90.00 per week, so your total earnings would be:

Total earnings = 130x + 90

We want to find the value of "x" that makes the total earnings at least $1000.00 per week, so we can set up the following inequality:

130x + 90 ≥ 1000

Subtracting 90 from both sides, we get:

130x ≥ 910

Dividing both sides by 130, we get:

x ≥ 7

Therefore, you need to sell at least 7 magazine subscriptions per week to make at least $1000.00 per week.
