Yvonne is a salesperson who earns a fixed amount of $1,850 per month. She also earns a commission of 4% on the amount of goods that she sells. If she wants to earn more than $2,300 in one month, how many dollars (x) in goods must she sell?
Let the amount of dollars in goods sold be x, then her earning is 1850 + (4/100)x = 1850 + 0.04x. For her to earn more than $2300, we have: 1850 + 0.04x > 2300 0.04x > 2300 - 1850 0.04x > 450 x > 450 / 0.04 x > $11,250
