Question

Derrick needs to sell a minimum of 100 orders each month to make it into the sales winners circle. He has already sold 45 orders this month. He still needs to sell s more orders.

Which inequality can be used to find the possible values for s?

Answer 1

s>=55

He needs to sell a MINIMUM of 100 orders which means that he can send 100 or more. If he’s already sold 45 then he needs to sell AT LEAST 55 more which means that the variable s, sales left, is greater than or equal to 55
