Let s be the number of sales made in a week.
The total pay is given by $100 + $3s.
To find the number of sales needed to make at least $160, we set up the inequality:
$100 + $3s ≥ $160
Subtracting $100 from both sides, we have:
$3s ≥ $60
Dividing both sides by $3, we get:
s ≥ 20
Thus, the correct answer is option B: 100 + 3s ≥ 160; s ≥ 20.
As a salesperson, you are paid $100 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $160. Write and solve an inequality for the number of sales you need to make.
A. 100−3s≤160; s≤18
B.100+3s≥160; s≥20
C. 100+3s≥160; s≥18
D.100−3s≤160; s≤20
