How do you solve this?

Question

As a salesperson,Jonathan is paid $50 per week plus 3% to the total amount he sells. This week,he wants  to earn at least $100. Write an inequality with integer coefficients for the total sales needed and describe what the solution represents.

Answer 1

    E = 50 + 0.03 S          / Equation of weekly earning

 

    100 = 50 + 0.03S

 

       50 = 0.03 S

 

        S = 50    = 1666 67     / Total Sales

              0.03

  

Answer 2

Hi Jessica;

$100≤(0.03)x+$50

The figure of $100 is equal to or less than the sales statistics Jonathan is aspiring to.  This prospective figure has two components: $50 fixed weekly amount as well as 3% (0.03) of total sales.
