Thread: Word Porblem (solving inequalitites)

A car salesman receives $50 for each car sale plus 2% of the purchase price. How much must a car sell for in order for the salesperson to earn at least $500?

Plzz help urgently...Please.

What have you tried?

Sells for $100. ==> $50 + $100*0.02 = $52
Sells for $1000. ==> $50 + $1000*0.02 = $70

Have you solve the Equality or did the INequality scare you away?

X is the price of the car.

$50 + X*(0.02) = $500

So, more than that?
