Betsy sells laptops at an electronics store. She earns $180 a week, plus $15 for every laptop she sells. Betsy needs to earn at least $900 this week to meet her sales goal. Write and solve an inequality that can be used to determine the number of laptops Betsy needs to sell this week.

Answer:

15x + 180 ≥ 900

x ≥ 48

Step-by-step explanation:

x = amount of laptops needed to sell.

Equation:

15x + 180 ≥ 900

15x ≥ 720

x ≥ 48

Check:

15(48) + 180 = 900

720 + 180 = 900

900 = 900 (It's good, she needs to make at least 900, so she needs to sell at least 48 laptops).
