You can put this solution on YOUR website! your salary is 1250 dollars per week and you recieve a 5% commission on your sales each week. What are the possible amounts in dollars that you can sell each week to earn atleast 1500 dollars per week?
----------------
Let sales for the week be "x"
EQUATION:
salary = 1250+0.05x
For salary to be >=1500 you have:
1250+0.05x >= 1500
0.05x >= 250
x >= $5000
===============
Sales for the week must be greater than or equal to $5000
==================
