Question

Sharon earns $25 per item she sells 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.

Answer 1

100 + 25x >= 700
25x > = 700 - 100
25x > = 600
x > = 600/25
x > = 24

Sharon needs to sell at least 24 items to make at least $700 per week.
