Question 999453: liz earns a salary of $2100.00 per month, plus a commission of 5% of her sales. She wants to earn at least $2400.00 this month. Write an inequality to find the amount of sales that will meet her goal. Identify what your variable represents.

Call the amount of her sales, x.
Thus 5% of x or .05x, is her commission.
The inequality you would write is
2100 + .05x >= 2400
Subtract 2100...
.05x >= 300
Divide by .05 and get
x = $6000
