Question

As a salesperson, you are paid $92 per week plus $4 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $200. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions. A) 92 - 4s ≤ 200; s ≤ 26 B) 92 + 4s ≥ 200; s ≥ 26 C) 92 - 4s ≤ 200; s ≤ 27 D) 92 + 4s ≥ 200; s ≥ 27

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

92 + 4(27) ≥ 200
92 + 108 ≥ 200
200 ≥  200

This inequality states that in order to make $200, you need to make at least 27 sales.
