So we know that they spend $100 on the candles. In order to make a $125 profit, they must sell $225 worth of candles. Each candle sells for $4.50, so:
4.5x > 225 is the inequality for that. It just means $4.50 times the number of candles has to be more than the $225 we need. To simplify it, just divide both sided by 4.5:
x > 50
They have to sell more than 50 candles. Make sense?

It can be any number from 450000 to 549999. This is due to the fact that
when figures like this are reported they are either rounded up or down.
I believe the answer is A.
