GPT 3.5 · Answer

To solve the inequality, we can start by subtracting 300 from both sides of the equation:

15x + 300 - 300 > 600 - 300

This simplifies to:

15x > 300

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 15:

(15x)/15 > 300/15

This simplifies to:

x > 20

Therefore, Suzanne will need to make more than 20 sales in order to earn at least $600 this week.
