100,000+1,000(x-100)>200,000
\n" ); document.write( "100,000+1,000x-100,000>200,000
\n" ); document.write( "1,000x>200,000
\n" ); document.write( "x>200,000/1,000
\n" ); document.write( "x>200 thus he must get 200 hits to make $200,000 salary + bonus.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "Let the hits = 201
\n" ); document.write( "100,000+1,000(201-100)>200,000
\n" ); document.write( "100,000+201,000-100,000>200,000
\n" ); document.write( "201,000>200,000
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
