Question

A salesperson at a clothing store earns a commission of 2.5% on all the sales he makes. Which inequalities represent the sales, s, in dollars, he needs to make to earn a commission of more than $100

Answer 1

s > 4,000, s > 4,000

Explanation:

Since he needs to make $100 the choices that give him $100 or more are correct.

Answer 2

Option A is correct.

Inequality represents the sale s in dollars:

`0.025s\geq 100`

`s> 4000`

Explanation:

Let s represents the sales in dollars.

Given :A salesperson at a clothing store earns a commission of 2.5% on all the sales he makes.

Earns a Commission = 2.5% of s =
`(2.5)/(100) * s = (25s)/(1000) = 0.025s`

It is also given that he needs to make to earn a commission of more than $100

then, we have an inequality:

`0.025s\geq 100`

divide both sides by 0.025 we get;

`s> 4000`

Therefore, an inequality represents the sales in dollar ;
`0.025s\geq 100` or
`s> 4000`
