Question

Tonia Sells Cars. Her yearly salary is $35,000 plus 8% of her sales. type and solve an equality to determine her necessary cells to earn over $50,000 step-by-step.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x be the amount of sales of Tonia in a year.

8% of her sales is:

`x\cdot(8)/(100)=0.08x`

Her salary is this plus $35,000. If 'y' is the total yearly salary of Tonia, the equaltion is:

`y=0.08x+35,000`

We want y > 50,000. Replacing this value and solving for x:

`\begin{gathered} 50,000<0.08x+35,000 \\ 50,000-35,000<0.08x \\ 15,000<0.08x \\ x>(15,000)/(0.08) \\ x>187,500 \end{gathered}`

Answer:

The equality is 50,000 < 0.08x + 35,000

Tonia needs to sell over 187,500 sales to earn $50,000
