As a salesperson, you are paid $100 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $160. Write and solve an inequality for the number of sales you need to make.(1 point)
Let's call the number of sales you need to make "x".
You are paid $3 per sale and want to make at least $160, so the amount you make from sales is 3x.
You are also paid $100 per week, so your total pay is 100 + 3x.
We want this total pay to be at least $160, so we can write the inequality:
100 + 3x ≥ 160
To solve for x, we can subtract 100 from both sides:
3x ≥ 160 - 100
3x ≥ 60
Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:
x ≥ 20
Therefore, you need to make at least 20 sales to have a pay of $160 or more.
