Answer:
5000 + (0.16)x > 55,000
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>DATA:</em></u>
Michael's salary = $55,000
Cole's basic salary = $5,000
--> Commission = 16% of sales
--> Sales = x
<u><em>Cole's total salary</em></u>
<em>--> Basic salary + Commission x sales</em>
--> 5000 + 16% of x
--> 5000 + (0.16)x as 16 percent is equal to 16/100 = 0.16
<u><em>Cole's total salary should be more than Michael's total salary</em></u>
5000 + (0.16)x > 55000
<em>--> Make x the subject</em>
0.16x > 55000-5000
0.16x > 50,000
x > 50,000/0.16
x > 312500
The inequality that represents the dollar amount of sales is 5000 + (0.16)x > 55000.
The dollar amount of sales that Cole must generate should be more than $312500.
I think this question is asking for the closest number to 500,000, which is 533,736. I don't know how to show work for this, except for saying this number is about 33,000 away from 500,000 which is the closest out of 429,455, 441,689, 533,736, and 550,198.
The answer is D, because -2/3/2 = -4/3.
20,000,000+400,000+80,000+4,000+100+60+3
