Profit = revenue - expenses
expenses : 125,000 + 6.50x
revenue : 9x
so to make a profit, ur revenue (income) has to be higher then ur expenses
revenue > expenses
A. ) 9x > 125,000 + 6.50x
9x - 6.50x > 125,000
2.5x > 125,000
x > 125,000 / 2.5
x > 50,000......so they would have to sell at least 50,001 devices to make a profit <==
B.) the cost of making 1 device is 10% more then the company predicted....10% more then 6.50.....6.50(1.10) = 7.15.....this is the new cost of making 1 device <==
9x > 125,000 + 7.15x ....this is the inequality with the 10% more added
9x - 7.15x > 125,000
1.85x > 125,000
x > 125,000 / 1.85
x > 67,567.5......so to make a profit, they would have to sell at least 67,568 devices to make a profit <==
