14. Sharon earns $25 per item she sells plus a base salary of $100 per week. Write and solve an inequality to find how many items she must sell to earn at least $700 per week. Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.

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 = $700

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

Then

100 + 25x = 700

25x = 700 - 100

25x = 600

x = 600/25

= 24

So Sharon needs to sell 24 items to earn a total of $700 per week. I hope you have understood the method of solving such problems.
