Question

Sharon earns $25 per item she sales plus a base salary of $100 per week. Write and solve an inequality to find how many items she must sell to earn at least $700 per week. Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.
(I thought I had done this correctly but it was sent back from my teacher stating it needed be written as an inequality.)

Answer 1

$25 per item sold + $100 per week = 700 total goal in 1 week

X is our items sold variable. We only use 100 since our goal is for only one week.
25x + 100 = 700

Subtract 100 from each side.
25x = 600

Divide by 25.
x = 24
