Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the minimum number of computers the sales associate must sell, we can set up an inequality.

Let's denote the number of computers sold as "x". We know that the sales associate receives a bonus of $100 for each computer sold. Therefore, the total bonus he will earn next month is $100 times the number of computers sold:

Total bonus = 100x

We want to find the minimum number of computers he must sell to make $2500 in bonuses. So, we can set up the inequality:

100x ≥ 2500

To solve this inequality for x, we divide both sides by 100:

x ≥ 25

Therefore, the sales associate must sell at least 25 computers to make a minimum bonus of $2500 next month.
