Answer:
755 or more
Step-by-step explanation:
The profit is the difference between revenue and costs. We want the profit to be $2000 or more, and we have both fixed and variable costs.
Let x represent the number of puppets sold. Then the costs are ...
... 76.25 + 2.25x
The revenue is 5x.
The above-described relationship can then be written as
... 5x -(76.25 +2.25x) ≥ 2000
... 2.75x ≥ 2076.25 . . . . . add 76.25, collect terms
... x ≥ 2076.25/2.75 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
... x ≥ 755
755 or more puppets must be sold to earn $2000 or more.
