    5000 + (0.16) x > 55,000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    dа ta:

    Michael's salary = $55,000

    Cole's basic salary = $5,000

    --> Commission = 16% of sales

    --> Sales = x

    Cole's total salary

    --> Basic salary + Commission x sales

    --> 5000 + 16% of x

    --> 5000 + (0.16) x as 16 percent is equal to 16/100 = 0.16

    Cole's total salary should be more than Michael's total salary

    5000 + (0.16) x > 55000

    --> Make x the subject

    0.16x > 55000-5000

    0.16x > 50,000

    x > 50,000/0.16

    x > 312500

    The inequality that represents the dollar amount of sales is 5000 + (0.16) x > 55000.

    The dollar amount of sales that Cole must generate should be more than $312500.
