Question

A sales person makes $200 each week plus an

additional $24 per sale. This sales person wants their
weekly paycheck to be at least $500.

7. Which inequality could be used to solve for how many sales (s) the salesperson will have to make to reach or exceed their goal?
24s + 200≥ 500
24s + 200 > 500
24s + 200 ≤ 500
245 + 200 < 500

Answer 1

24s+ 200 ≥ 500

Explanation:

Let s be the number of sales

200 + 24s is the amount that they will make

They want to make at least 500 so the amount they make must be greater than or equal to 500

200 + 24s≥ 500

Changing the order on the left side

24s+ 200 ≥ 500
