Answer:

320 +0.05s ≥ 600
sales ≥ $5600

Step-by-step explanation:

For sales of 's', Alan's earnings will be ...

320 +0.05s

He wants that to be at least 600, so the inequality is ...

320 +0.05s ≥ 600

__

Its solution is found by subtracting 320 and dividing by 0.05.

0.05s ≥ 280

s ≥ 5600

Alan's weekly sales must be at least $5600 for his earnings to cover his expenses.
