To solve the inequality, we can subtract 300 from both sides to isolate the term with x:
15x + 300 - 300 ≥ 600 - 300
15x ≥ 300
Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 15:
(15x)/15 ≥ 300/15
x ≥ 20
Therefore, Suzanne will need to make at least 20 sales.
The correct answer is B. x ≥ 20.
Suzanne earns $300 per week plus $15 per sale at her job. She is hoping to make at least $600 this week. How many sales will she need to make? Suzanne writes the inequality 15x + 300 ≥ 600, where x = the number of sales. Solve the inequality. (1 point)
A. x ≥ 60
B. x ≥ 20
