Suzanne earns $300 per week plus $15 per sale at her job. She is hoping to make AT LEAST $600 this week. How many sales will she need to make? Suzanne writes the inequality 15x+300≥600
, where x = the number of sales. Solve the inequality
x≥60
x is greater than or equal to 60
x≥20
x is greater than or equal to 20
x≥4500
x is greater than or equal to 4500
x≥1.95
x is greater than or equal to 1 point 9 5

The correct inequality to solve is 15x + 300 ≥ 600.
Subtract 300 from both sides to isolate the variable:
15x + 300 - 300 ≥ 600 - 300
15x ≥ 300
Divide both sides by 15 to solve for x:
15x/15 ≥ 300/15
x ≥ 20
So Suzanne will need to make at least 20 sales to earn at least $600.
The correct answer is x ≥ 20.
