Data:

Miles needs to make at least $200 (greather than or equal to)

He receives one-eighth of his total sales

Let x be the amount in sell


(1)/(8)x\ge200

Use the inequality above to find the amount in sell Miles need to do:


\begin{gathered} \text{Multiply both sides of the inequality by 8:} \\ \\ (8)\cdot(1)/(8)x\ge(8)\cdot200 \\ \\ x\ge1600 \end{gathered}Then, Miles need to sell at least $1,600 to make at least $200
