Question

Yvonne is a salesperson who earns a fixed amount of $1,850 per month. She also earns a commission of 4% on the amount of goods that she sells. If she wants to earn more than $2,300 in one month, how many dollars (x) in goods must she sell?
A. x > 4,150
B. x > 11,250
C. x > 10,050
D. x < 11,250

Answer 1

Let the amount of dollars in goods sold be x, then her earning is 1850 + (4/100)x = 1850 + 0.04x.
For her to earn more than $2300, we have:
1850 + 0.04x > 2300
0.04x > 2300 - 1850
0.04x > 450
x > 450 / 0.04
x > $11,250

Answer 2

Let's see the answer is d which is x<11,250
