Suzie 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? Suzie writes the inequality 15x + 300 ≥

Question

600, where x equals the number of sales, to help figure this out. Solve her inequality. (1 point)
Responses

x ≥
20
x is greater than or equal to 20

x ≥
1.95
x is greater than or equal to 1.95

x ≥
60
x is greater than or equal to 60

x ≥
4,500

Answer 1

To solve the inequality Suzie wrote, we start with:

\[ 15x + 300 \geq 600 \]

1. First, subtract 300 from both sides:

\[ 15x \geq 600 - 300 \]

\[ 15x \geq 300 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 15:

\[ x \geq \frac{300}{15} \]

\[ x \geq 20 \]

Therefore, Suzie needs to make at least \( x \geq 20 \) sales.

The correct response is:

x ≥ 20 (x is greater than or equal to 20)
