Answer: d.3,500 + 0.06x > 4,000 + 0.04x
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write each inequality:
Jose earns a monthly salary of $3,500 plus a 6% commission on his sales, x.
So, his monthly earnings must be equal to the sum of the fixed monthly salary ($3500) plus the product of the number of sales (x) and the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):
So:
Jose’s earnings: 3,500 + x (6/100)
Jose’s earnings: 3,500 + 0.06x
Maris earns a monthly salary of $4,000 plus a 4% commission on her sales.
So, her monthly earnings must be equal to the sum of the fixed monthly salary ($4000) plus the product of the number of sales (x) and the commission percentage in decimal form (divided by 100):
Maris’ earnings: 4000+ x (4/100)
Maris’ earnings: 4000+ 0.04 x
Since Jose's earnings must be greater than Maris' earnings
3,500 + 0.06x >4000+ 0.04 x
