A salesperson earns a salary of $700 per month plus 2% of the sales. Which inequality correctly represents the term total sales if the salesperson is to have a monthly income of at least $1800?

A) x < $45,000

B) x > $55,000

C) x > $45,000

D) x < $55,000

Respuesta :

Answer = B, because 2% of 55,000 equals $1,100 then you add the $700 salary bringing you to the minimum $1,800

The equation that represents the total sale will be x > $55,000. Then the correct option is B.

What is inequality?

Inequality is defined as an equation that does not contain an equal sign. Inequality is a term that describes a statement's relative size and can be used to compare these two claims.

A salesperson earns a salary of $700 per month plus 2% of the sales.

If the salesperson is to have a monthly income of at least $1800.

Then the total sale is given by the inequality,

700 + 0.02x > 1800

Simplify the equation, then we have the total sales will be

0.02x > 1800 - 700

0.02x > 1100

x > 1100/0.02

x > $55,000

The equation that represents the total sale will be x > $55,000.

Then the correct option is B.
