Answer 1

Answer:

$2x + 50,000 \ge 70,000$.

$x \ge 10,000$.

Step-by-step explanation:

What's the total income of Ms. Wolf in a year?

The annual income of Ms. Wolf comes in two parts:

• The fixed salary of $50,000, and
• The 4% commission on shares she sold.

How many commission does Ms. Wolf receive for each share she sold? $\ \;50 \times 4\% = \ \;50 \times 0.04 = \ \;2$.

Let the number of shares that Ms. Wolf sold be $x$. Ms. Wolf will receive a commission of $\ \;2x$.

Total annual income of Ms. Wolf: $\ \; (50,000 + 2x)$.

The phrase "at least" indicates that $\ \; (50,000 + 2x)$ shall be greater than or equal to $70,000. That is:

$\ \; (50,000 + 2x)\ge \ \;70,000$.

$2x + 50,000 \ge 70,000$.

$x \ge 20,000$.
