Well determine the cost of one lb. To do that divide $19.50 by 15. This gives you $1.30 per lb. Multiply this by 12 1/2 to get your answer. This is $16.25

There are 2 ways to do this....

(1) find the unit rate....19.50 / 15 = 1.30 per lb.
for 12 1/2 (or 12.5) lbs = 1.30 * 12.5 = 16.25 <===

(2) proportion...
15 / 19.50 = 12.5 / x...15 lbs to 19.50 = 12.5 lbs to x
 cross multiply
 (15)(x) = (19.5)(12.5)
  15x = 243.75
 x = 243.75 / 15
x = 16.25 <==

To make a profit, a company’s revenue must be greater than its operating costs. The company’s revenue is modeled by the expressi
valina [46]
Revenue = 7.5x - 100
Operation Costs = 5.8x + 79.86

To break even, operation cost = Revenue
⇒ 7.5x - 100 = 5.8x + 79.86
7.5x = 5.8x + 179.86 (Add 100 to both sides)

7.5x - 5.8x = 179.86
1.7x = 179.86
x = 105.8

This implies that the company will need to sell at least 106 items to make a profit.

The inequality that will determine the number of items at need to be sold to make a profit is x ≥ 106

The solution to the inequality is as follows

Revenue = 7.5x - 100
if x =106
Revenue = 7.5(106) - 100
Revenue = 695

Operational Cost = 5.8x + 79.86
if x = 106
Operational Cost = 5.8(106) + 79.86
Operational Cost = 694.66

Profit ≥ (695 - 694.66)
Profit ≥ 0.34

The company must sell at least 106 items to make a profit.
