Question

Unit 4 Lesson 10 MODIFIED Inequalities:

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) 0.08

Part 2) $75.6

Part 3) y=230+0.08x

Part 4) The minimum amount to sell is $3,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Give the decimal form of 8%

we know that

To convert percentage number to decimal number, divide by 100

8%=8/100=0.08 ----> decimal form

Part 2) If you make $945 in sales, how much will you make from your 8% commission?

Multiply the percentage of commission in decimal number by the total amount in sales

so

0.08*($945)=$75.6

Part 3) Create an expression representing how much you will make in one week if you sell  

x amount of sales.

Let

x-----> amount of sales in a week

y ----> total earned in a week

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

y=230+0.08x  

Part 4) Create an inequality using the expression in problem 3 to find how much you need  to sell at a MINIMUM to make your goal

we know that

The inequality that represent the situation is

$230+0.08x \geq 510$

Solve for x

Remember that x is the amount of sales in a week

$0.08x \geq 510-230$

$0.08x \geq 280$

$x \geq 280/0.08$

$x \geq 3,500$

The minimum amount to sell is $3,500
