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