3. How many vehicles does the salesperson need to sell in a month to earn at least $6000? Write an inequality and solve algebraically using inverse operations.

Answer 1

1. 2400+250v=t

2. 11

3. at the least 15

Explanation:

1. 250 is dependent variable

2. 5,150-2400=2750

2750/250=11

3.2400+250x=6000

6000-2400=3600

250x=360

3600/250

x=14.4

you need to sell at least 15
