Sarah works ar a shoe store. She earns a base salary of $1,500 per month, plus a 25% commission on the amount of shoe sales she makes druing the month. If Sarah's goal is to earn $2,000 a month, what is the amount of shoe sales that she must make in a month?

Step-by-step explanation:

goal is 2,000 and she already makes 1,500

2,000-1,500 gives you the amount she needs to earn from shoe sales

she needs to earn 500 dollars with a 25% commision

25% can also be written as 25/100

for every $100 she makes, she gets $25 but she needs $500

100:25

we need the second number in the ratio to equal $500

500 divided by 25 is 20

20 x 100 : 25 x 20

2000: 500

ANOTHER WAY: 500 is 1/4 of 2000 and 1/4 is 25% so you could multiply the amount she needed by 4 to get your answer

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
