Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum number of brownies to sell would be 237 brownies

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Albert spent $650 to purchase supplies to get started and  he uses about $2.25 worth of supplies per brownie  made. Albert charges $5 for each brownie.  

In order to get a profit he need to come up with more than $650

he uses about $2.25 worth of supplies per brownie and charges $5 for each.

Therefore, the profit per brownie is

$5 - $2.25 = $2.75

Let b  represent the number of brownies sold.

The required inequality in order to get profit is:

$2.75b > 650$

Now, solving, we get:

$b > \frac{650}{2.75}$

$b >236.36$

So, the minimum number of brownies to sell would be 237 brownies
