As a salesperson, brittany earns 1200 a month plus 7.5 commission on her sales she needs to earn at least 3300 a moth to pay all her bills. the following inequality can be used to find the amount of sales britanny needs to have each month

Question

1200+0.075x>=3300
What is the solution to the inequality

Answer 1

To find the solution to the inequality, we need to isolate the variable "x" (representing the amount of sales Brittany needs each month).

Let's solve the inequality step by step:

1200 + 0.075x >= 3300

First, subtract 1200 from both sides of the inequality:

0.075x >= 3300 - 1200
0.075x >= 2100

Next, we can isolate the variable by dividing both sides of the inequality by 0.075:

x >= 2100 / 0.075
x >= 28000

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x >= 28000. This means that Brittany needs to have at least $28,000 in sales each month to earn enough to pay all her bills.
