Tanya yearly salary is

$35000 + 8% of her sales

Let her sales be x

Since, her sales is x

35000 + 0.08x > salary

To determine her necessary sales to earn over $50, 000

Let $50, 000 be her benchmark salary

35,000 + 0.08 * x > 50000

35000 + 0.08x > 50000

0.08x > 50000 - 350000

0.08x > 15000

Divide both sides by 0.08

0.08x/0.08 > 15000/0.08

x > 15000 / 0.08

x > 187,500

Therefore, she will need a sales of 188,000 and above to earn above $50,000
