Question

a bakery has a fixed cost of 119.75 per day plus 2.25 for each pastry. The bakery would like to keep its daily costs at or below $500 per day. which inequality shows the maximum number of pastries p, that can be baked each day?

Answer 1

Let x=number of pastry.
2.25x+119.75≤500

Answer 2

2.25p + 119.75 = 500
2.25p = 380.25
p = 169
169 pastries per day equal $380.75 + $119.75 of fixed costs equal to exactly $500
