at your job you get paid $50 a week and $3.00 per sale how many sales do you need to make over $250.00
50 + 3x > 250
Donnie,
To solve this problem, you need to solve for x in this case.
First,
You need to get the 3x by itself, which results in 3x > 200.
Then you would need to divide both sides by 3 to get the x by itself.
x > 66.66
And then you would need to find the closest number to 66.66.
67 > 66.66
Therefore, you would need to make at least 67 sales to make over $250.
To find out how many sales you need to make over $250.00, you can use a simple equation. Let's denote the number of sales you need as "x".
The equation can be written as:
Total earning = Fixed salary + (Earning per sale * Number of sales)
Given that your fixed salary is $50.00 and you earn $3.00 per sale, the equation becomes:
Total earning = $50.00 + ($3.00 * x)
To determine the number of sales needed to make over $250.00, we set up an inequality:
$250.00 ≤ $50.00 + ($3.00 * x)
By subtracting $50.00 from both sides, the inequality becomes:
$200.00 ≤ $3.00 * x
Now, divide both sides of the new inequality by $3.00 to solve for "x":
$200.00 ÷ $3.00 ≤ x
This simplifies to:
66.67 ≤ x
x represents the number of sales you need to make, so it should be a whole number. Therefore, you would need to make at least 67 sales in order to earn over $250.00 with your fixed salary of $50.00 per week.
