The least number of sweaters that must be produced each hour to earn a profit of at least $100 is 37.
<h3>What is inequality?</h3>
It is defined as the expression in mathematics in which both sides are not equal they have mathematical signs either less than or greater than known as inequality.
We have:
A clothing manufacturer produces one type of sweater that earns $4 profit for each one sold.
Let x be the number of sweaters that must be produced each hour to earn a profit of at least $100
Total selling price if earns $4 profit for each one sold = 4x
The expenses for running the machine are $45 per hour.
4x - 45 ≤ 100
4x ≤ 145
x ≤ 145/4
x ≤ 36.25
Number of sweater(estimate value) = 37
Thus, the least number of sweaters that must be produced each hour to earn a profit of at least $100 is 37.
