5% commission on her sales. She
hopes to earn at least $600
dollars each week.
a. Write an inequality to
represent the verbal
description.
b. How much does Lia
need in sales to make
her goal?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the inequality, we need to first caculate the amount of money that Lia would ACTUALLY earn each week and compare that to her goal of $600.

We cannot actually get the amount of money that Lia would get because we don't know her sales so we will represent the sales with a X.

450+ X(5%).  -This the amount of money she would egt from her sales. We need to also figure out 5% of 450 to solve the next part of the equation. That is $22.5. 600-450=150/22.5= 6.6666- which is about 7 sales.
