Answer:
So, the minimum number of magazine subscriptions needed to earn at least $98 this week is 68.
Explanation:
To determine the minimum number of magazine subscriptions needed to earn at least $98 this week, we can set up an inequality.
Let's assume "x" is the number of magazine subscriptions sold.
Given:
- Earnings from magazine subscriptions: x (since each subscription sale contributes to earnings)
To earn at least $98, the total earnings should be greater than or equal to $98:
Total Earnings = Weekly Bonus + Earnings from Subscriptions
Total Earnings = $30 + x
Now, we set up the inequality:
$30 + x ≥ $98
To solve for "x," we can subtract $30 from both sides of the inequality:
x ≥ $98 - $30
x ≥ $68
