Let x be the all sale for individual.

Determine the expression for total income of individual.


(20)/(100)x+40000=0.2x+40000

The total income was at least 70000. So last year income is 70000 or more than 70000.

Setermine the inequality for the sales.


\begin{gathered} 0.2x+40000-40000\ge70000-40000 \\ (0.2x)/(0.2)\ge(30000)/(0.2) \\ x\ge150000 \end{gathered}
