Paul sells medical equipment. Each week he earns $240 plus a commission equal to 6% of his sales. This week his goal is to earn not less than $600. Write and solve an inequality to find the amount of sales he must have to reach his goal.
1. (140 - 8 ) - 12x => 0.
-12x => -132,
X =< 11 Chicken pizzas.
Note: When dividing or multiplying by a negative number, the inequality
sign is reversed.
-12x => -132,
X =< 11 Chicken pizzas.
Note: When dividing or multiplying by a negative number, the inequality
sign is reversed.
2. 240 + 0.06*x => 600.
X => ?
X => ?
