<em><u>The inequality is:</u></em>

70+6x\geq 150

You must do more than 14 sales to get at least $ 150

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

As a salesperson you are paid $70 per week plus $6 per sale

Let "x" be the number of sales

This week you want your pay to be at least $150

We have to frame a inequality to represent the number of sales you need to make to achieve your goal

This week he must earn at least $ 150

Thus, he can spend $ 150 or more then 150 also

So we have to use "greater than or equal to" symbol

From given,

70 + 6(\text{number of sales})\geq 150

70+6x\geq 150

Thus the inequality is found

<em><u>Solve the inequality</u></em>

70+6x\geq 150\\\\Subtract\ 70\ from\ both\ sides\\\\6x\geq 150-70\\\\6x\geq 80\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 6\\\\x\geq 13.3\\\\Thus\ approximately\ we\ get\\\\x\geq 14

So he must do more than 14 sales to get at least $ 150
