$20,001

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be the amount of dollars Lincoln needs to make in sales to earn more than $1500.

His boss pays him $500 for the week, plus a 5% commission on each vehicle he sells.

5% of $x is $0.05x, the Lincoln earns

in total.

Hence,

Solve this inequality:

Lincoln needs to make in sales more than $20,000, so the minimum amount of dollars Lincoln needs to make in sales is $20,001

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x
