980= (40-10)x - 12000= amount of PROFIT
12,980 = 30x; divide both sides by 30; and you get x=432.67
So the company would need to sell at least 433 backpacks to make a profit of at least 980 per week

Answer: x (40-10) -12000≥980

The factory must sell 433 backpacks to meet its weekly goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality.

So, since the backpacks (x) are sold by $40 and the cost of making one is $10, the revenue per bag is equal to 40x and the cost is 10x.

12,000 of operating expenses are also expenses.

So, for the profit:

<em>Profit = revenue- cost </em>

P = 40x-10x-12,000

P = x (40-10)-12000

The factory goal is to make a profit of at least $980 each week, so, the profit must be greater or equal than 980.

x (40-10) -12000≥980

Solving for x

30x-12000≥980

30x≥980+12000

30x ≥12980

x≥12980/30

x≥432.6

x≥433 (rounded, because if the sell 432 they will not meet the goal)

The factory must sell 433 backpacks to meet its weekly goal.

Hannah paid $8.63 at the grocery store for beans and potatoes. She bought 4 pounds of beans at $0.62 per pound and 5 pounds of p
irina [24]

Answer:

$1.23

Step-by-step explanation:

First start off by multiplying $0.62 by 4 to find out the total she paid for all four pounds of beans. This would give you $2.48 spent on beans. Subtract $2.48 from the total amount spent ($8.63). You now have $6.15 left on what she could have spent on 5 pounds of potatoes. Do $6.15 divided by 5 to get an answer of $1.23. Hannah paid $1.23 per pound for the potatoes.
