Question 278418: Sales for a small clothing company can be modeled by the linear function S(x) = 4800x + 49,500, where x is the number of years since 2000 and S(x)is in dollars. Predict the first whole year that sales will exceed $116,000. I think the answer is 14 - which means 2014. Is that correct?

Solve 4800x + 49,500 > 116000
4800x > 66500
x > 13.85
Rounding up x > 13
Year is 2014
========================
You are correct.
