Answer:

[tex]2300 + 0.08x \geq 2700[/tex]

and

[tex]x\geq 5000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Liz earns $2300. She then earns in addition to this 8% or 0.08 of what she sells. This is 0.08x. Together she earns 0.08x + 2300. If she wants to earn at least 2700 then this expression must be greater than or equal to 2700.

Combine these to write [tex]2300 + 0.08x \geq 2700[/tex].

Solve:

[tex]2300 + 0.08x \geq 2700\\\\2300-2300+0.08x\geq 2700-2300\\\\0.08x\geq 400\\\\x\geq 5000[/tex]
