Jackie earns a base pay of $3000 a month at her sales job. Jackie also gets a 15% bonus on all monthly sales. To make sure she can pay her bills for the upcoming month, Jackie needs to earn at least $4200. Write an inequality to represent this situatio

let her sales be s

.15s + 3000 ≥ 4200

To represent Jackie's situation in terms of an inequality, we need to account for her base pay and her bonus on sales.

Let's denote her base pay as "B" and her monthly sales as "S". Since Jackie earns a 15% bonus on all monthly sales, her bonus can be calculated as 15% of her sales, which is 0.15S.

Therefore, her total monthly earnings can be represented as:
Total earnings = base pay + bonus
Total earnings = B + 0.15S

To ensure she can pay her bills of at least $4200, we can write the following inequality:
B + 0.15S ≥ 4200

Substituting Jackie's base pay value of $3000:
3000 + 0.15S ≥ 4200

Thus, the inequality that represents Jackie's situation is:
3000 + 0.15S ≥ 4200
