Final answer:

To earn at least $1,500 per week with a salary of $1,250 and a 5% commission on sales, you need to sell at least $5,000 worth of goods each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the possible amounts that you can sell each week to earn at least $1,500, we can set up an inequality.

Let the amount you sell be x. The inequality is: 1250 + 0.05x &greater;= 1500.

To solve for x, subtract 1250 from both sides and then divide by 0.05.

The possible amounts you can sell each week to earn at least $1,500 are any values of x that are greater than or equal to 5000.
