Steph earns $25 per item she sells plus a base salary of $100 per week. How many items must she sell to earn
at least $975 per week? Write an inequality to model
this situation. Solve the inequality, then interpret the
solutions in a complete sentence using correct units.

Amount earned by Sharon per item sold = $25

Base salary of Sharon per week = $100

Amount that needs to be earned by Sharon per week = 975

Let us assume the number of items sold by Sharon per week = x

Then

100 + 25x = 975

25x = 700 - 100

25x = 600

x = 600/25

  = 24

So Sharon needs to sell 24 items to earn a total of 975 per week. I hope you have understood the method of solving such problems.

I think I got confused with another problem? Let me know if I'm wrong

answer: since the question is talking about growth you have to use the growth formula which is inital amount (1 + growth)^time

step-by-step explanation:

the intial amount is 1200, the growth is 4.8, and the time is 7. plug those numbers into the equation, also i think you have to change 4.8 into a percent. but, i have forgotton how to do that. if this is a online class go on to the lesson.

both equations and proportions are better.
