Question

Jasmine plans to take a short vacation in two weeks. Before her vacation, she wants to earn more than $700 each week. The store where she works pays her $500 per week plus 5% of her sales for that week. How much in sales, s, does she need to make each week to meet her goal? Write and solve an inequality to answer this question.

Answer 1

Jasmine starts with $500 and earns an additional amount.
The additional amount is 5% of her sales (s)
5% of her sales can be represented by .05s
Jasmine will earn $500 + .05s
and she wants to earn greater than $700 so 
$500 + .05s > $700
