Answer:

You can sell at least 40 phones each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Weekly base salary = $150

Earning on each phone = $20

Maximum amount that can be earned each week = $950

Let,

m be the number of phones.

20m + 150 ≤ 950

20m ≤ 950 - 150

20m ≤ 800

Dividing both sides by 20

[tex]\frac{20m}{20}\leq \frac{800}{20}[/tex]

m ≤ 40

Hence,

You can sell at least 40 phones each week.
