Jonathan works at a garden center. He earns $550 per month, plus an addtional $3 for each plant that he sells. Jonathan hopes to earn over $1000 this
month
If x is the number of plants Jonathan sells, which inequality represents this situation, and what quantities are true for x?
550 + 3x < 1000, where x < 150
550 + 3x > 1000, where x > 150
550x + 3 < 1000, where x < 447
O 550x + 3 > 1000, where x > 447

Answer:

550 + 3x > 1000, where x > 150

The quantities true for x are: x must be greater than 150

Step-by-step explanation:

The question claims he wants to earn OVER 1,000 that month. He already makes $550 and $3 PER PLANT he sells. Subtract $550 from $1000 and you would get 450. Then divide by 3. That makes 150 plants. So now we know the x needs to be GREATER THAN 150 plants to make over 1,000. The x would also go next to the 3 because the 3 represents how much per plant sold, and the 150 represents how many plants. The equation would be $550 + 3x > 1000, where x > 150.
