Question

Problem situation: Bernie spends $6.50 on ingredients and cups for his lemonade stand. He charges $1.50 for each cup of lemonade. How many cups, x, will Bernie need to sell to make a profit of at least $20? Inequality that represents this situation: 20≤1.50x−6.50 Drag each number to show if it is a solution to both the inequality and the problem situation, to the inequality only, or if it is not a solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

18 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Bernie spends $6.50 on ingredients and cups for his lemonade stand. He charges $1.50 for each cup of lemonade. Inequality that represents this situation: .
