To make a profit, a company’s revenue must be greater than its operating costs. The company’s revenue is modeled by the expression 7.5x – 100, where x represents the number of items sold. The company’s operation costs are modeled by the expression 79.86 + 5.8x. How many items does the company need to sell to make a profit?
The inequality that will determine the number of items that need to be sold to make a profit is 7.5x-100> 79.86 + 5.8x
The solution to the inequality is: X>11.85 X<105.8 X>105.8
The inequality that will determine the number of items that need to be sold to make a profit is: 12 100 106
