A real estate agent earns $2,000 per month plus 5% of the selling price of each house

sold. The agent wants to earn more than $60,000 this year. Which inequality represents the

possible combined selling price ( x) of all the houses sold during the year for the real estate

agent to meet his goal?

Ax > 11,600
Bx > 180,000
Cx > 720,000
Dx > 1,160,000

First you get how much he earns which is 24,000 so he would have to have x>180000 because 24000+11600 does not add up to 60000. Hope it helped

Given:
2,000 per month
5% of the selling price of each house sold

Agent wants to earn more than $60,000 this year.

2,000 per month * 12mos = 24,000

60,000 - 24,000 = 36,000

36,000 ÷ 5% = 720,000  ⇒ CHOICE C. X > 720,000

The real estate agent must sell a house that is more than 720,000 worth for said agent to earn more than 60,000 this year.
