1. Frances earns a salary of $ 3,200 per month plus a commission of 2% of his sales. He wants to earn at least $4,000 this month. Write an inequality to find the dollar amount of the sales that will meet his goal. Identify what your variable represents.
d= dollars
answer:???
3,200 + .02d >= 4,000
2. An auditorium holds at most 740 people. The balcony holds 60 people, and there are 20 rows on the main floor. Write an inequality to find how many seats there are in each row on the main floor. Identify what your variable represents.
( i think)
s= seats in each row
answer: ????
60 + 20s <= 740
all correct
Thank you so much.
your welcome
1. The goal is for Frances to earn at least $4,000 this month. To find the dollar amount of sales that will meet this goal, we can set up an inequality. Let's assume "d" represents the dollars in sales.
The salary earned by Frances is $3,200 per month. In addition to this base salary, he also earns a commission of 2% of his sales. Since we want the total earnings to be at least $4,000, the inequality will be like this:
3200 + 0.02d >= 4000
2. To determine the number of seats in each row on the main floor, we can set up an inequality based on the capacity of the auditorium. Let's assume "s" represents the number of seats in each row.
The auditorium has a maximum capacity of 740 people. It is mentioned that the balcony holds 60 people, and the main floor consists of 20 rows. Therefore, the equation would be:
60 + 20s <= 740
In this inequality, we take into account the 60 seats already accounted for in the balcony and then multiply the number of rows on the main floor by the number of seats in each row. The sum of these should not exceed the maximum capacity of the auditorium.
