Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Total\ sales\ should\ be=\$ 300000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]Let\ her\ total\ sale=x[/tex]

Total Earning:

[tex]The\ offer=\$ 42500\\\\Income\ from\ the\ sales=8\%\ of\ total\ sale\\\\Income\ from\ the\ sales=8\%\ of\ x\\\\Income\ from\ the\ sales=\frac{8}{100}\times x\\\\Income\ from\ the\ sales==0.08x\\\\Total\ earning=Offer+Income\ from\ the\ sales\\\\Total\ earning=42500+0.08x[/tex]

Required Earning=$66500

[tex]To\ move\ that\ city\\\\Total\ earning=required\ earning\\\\42500+0.08x=66500\\\\0.08x=66500-42500\\\\0.08x=24000\\\\x=\frac{24500}{0.08}\\\\x=300000\\\\Total\ sales\ should\ be=\$ 300000[/tex]

Her total sales would need to be at least $300,000 for her to move

Step-by-step explanation:

Briana has been offered a sales job in another city

  • The offer was for $42,500 plus 8% of her total sales
  • Briana needs to have an annual salary of at least $66,500

We need to find what would her total sales need to be for her to move

Assume that her total sales is x

∵ The offer was for $42,500 plus 8% of her total sales

∵ Her total sales = x

- To find her annual salary multiply x by 8% and add the

  product to $42,500

∴ Her annual salary = 8% × x + 42,500

∵ 8% × x = [tex]\frac{8}{100}[/tex] × x = 0.08 x

Her annual salary = 0.08 x + 42,500

∵ Briana needs to have an annual salary of at least $66,500

- At least means ≥

∴ Her annual salary ≥ 66,500

- Substitute her annual salary by the expression above

0.08 x + 42,500 ≥ 66,500

- Subtract 42,500 from both sides of inequality

∴ 0.08 x ≥ 24,000

- Divide both sides by 0.08

x ≥ 300,000

∴ Her total sales ≥ $300,000

Her total sales would need to be at least $300,000 for her to move
