Sandy's monthly earnings consist of a fixed salary of $2,500 and a 10% commission on all her monthly sales. To cover her planned expenses, Sandy needs to earn an income of at least $6,000 this month. Write and solve an algebraic inequality to find the amount of sales Sandy needs to cover her planned expenses.

$35,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Fixed salary= $2,500

Commission= 10%

Sandy wants to earn $6,000 this month

Let the total earning be y and the sales be x

Therefore the expression for Sandy's earning is given as

y=2500+0.1x1

when y= $6,000

substitute in 1 and solve for x

6000=2500+0.1x

6000-2500=0.1x

3500=0.1x

x= 3500/0.1

x= $35,000

Hence the amount of sales will be $35,000

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
