Question 232317: COMMISSION PROBLEM THE ANSWER IS 130,000 I cant seem to get it!
Frank makes 16,000 per year plus a 6% commission on all sales over $30,000. He wants to make more than $22,000 this year. How many dollars in sales must he achieve to make this salary goal? (I have to solve this using an inequality)

--------------------
Let "x" be the amount of his sales.
---
Inequality:
16000+ 0.06(x-30000)> 22000
Subtract 16000 from both sides
0.06(x-30000) > 6000
Multiply both sides by 100 to get:
6(x-30000) > 600000
Divide both sides by b to get
x-30000 > 100000
x = $130,000 (amount of sales he will need)

16000+.06x=22000
x=$100,000
100000 in sales above the 30000 with no commision
total = $130,000
Here is what you have to work with, you set up the inequality.
