A company's goal is that every month, they will sell 10% more than what was sold the previous year. The CEO considers it a success if they can be within 10% of that goal. The previous year's sales for April totaled $20,000
Which inequality describes the situation.
a. |x-2,000| ≤ 22,000
b. |x-22,000|≤ 2,200
c. |x-2,200| ≤ 22,000
d. |x-22,000| ≤ 2,000
e. None of the above
My answer would be e, because you could plug in numbers, such as 0 or numbers that are outside of the 10% increase and still make the inequalities true. Am I overlooking something or not understanding the questions correctly?
