Work Step by Step

The following information is given: Weekly salary: $\$1550$ Commission on sales: $5\%$ Let's define the amount of goods sold by $x$ and total salary by $S$, and write the following formula of income according to sales: $S=1550+0.05x$ To be able to determine how much the salesperson has to sell, we can write the following inequality: $1900\le1550+0.05x$ $0.05x\geq 350$ $x\geq 7000$ He has to sell at least $\$7000$
