Question

Your weekly base salary is $150 You earn $20 for each cell phone that you sell. The company policy is that as a part- time employee, the maximum you can earn each week is $950. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of cell phones you can sell each week.

Answer 1

$150 + $20x = $950, x = max # of cell phone you can sell. Solve for x.

$20x = $950 - $150
$20x = $800
x = $800/$20
x = 40
