Question

Joaquin earns $4000 plus a 6% commission on all of his sales each pay period. He has to pay off a credit card billand needs at least $7000 next month. Find how much in sales he needs to reach his goal. What is the inequality too?​

Answer 1

He'd need to achieve $50,000 in sales.

The inequality is $4000 + 0.06s ≥ $7000

Explanation:

Let s represent his sales. Then:

$4000 + 0.06s ≥ $7000

This simplifies to 0.06s ≥ $3000. Dividing both sides by 0.06 yields:

s ≥ $50,000

He'd need to achieve $50,000 in sales.

The inequality is $4000 + 0.06s ≥ $7000
