•Well if you are looking for the expression/equation/inequality here it is
•10% as a decimal = 0.1
•2,400 PER month
•wants 3,000 per month
Answer: (if it’s a test the answer choice is G)
•Answer 2,400 + 0.1 < 3,000
Since 3,000 is MORE THAN/GREATER THAN 2,400
he makes 2400 + 0.10(s)
so
3,000 </= 2400 + 0.10 s
0.10 s >/= 600
s >/= 6,000
To determine the inequality, we need to consider that Mr. Davis wants to earn at least $3,000 next month. Let's break down his earnings:
1. He earns a fixed salary of $2,400 per month.
2. He also earns a 10 percent commission on his total sales.
Let's assume his total sales are represented by the variable 's'. His commission can be calculated as 10% of the total sales, which is 0.1s.
To meet his goal of earning at least $3,000, we can set up the following inequality:
Fixed salary + Commission ≥ Goal earnings
$2,400 + 0.1s ≥ $3,000
This inequality states that the sum of Mr. Davis's fixed salary and his commission should be greater than or equal to $3,000. Solving this inequality will give us the amount of sales (represented by 's') needed to meet his goal.
