Question

Merlin wants to make more money selling fake beards this month than he did last month. All black beards in his

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that all black beards cost the same money

And all red beards cost $25

And B represents number of black beards

And R represents number of red beards

We have been given the inequality 20B+25R > 350 to show the target for this month.

The above inequality shows that Merlin needs to make more than 350, hence he made 350 last month

Further, it shows that B has been multiplied by 20, hence the black beard's cost was 20

Answer 2

Answer: According to the inequality Merlin make$350 last month, and each black beard costs $20.

He doesn’t achieve his goal by  selling 5 black beards and 10 red beards, but he can't relinquish because he only needs to sell one more beard to achieve his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, analyzing the inequality, the term on the right is the total amount that Merlin made last month (since is equal to the sum of the sales of the beards)

20B + 25R > 350

According to the inequality Merlin make$350 last month, and each black beard costs $20.

Since B is the number of black beards, the number that multiplies that variable is the cost of each black beard. (20)

If he sells 5 black beads and 10 red beards.

We have to replace the values in the inequality

20 (5) + 25 (10) = 350

He doesn’t achieve his goal, because he sells the same amount (not more)

He can’t relinquish because he only needs to sell one more beard to achieve his goal.
