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?
Answers:
When we evaluate a logarithm, we are finding the exponent, or <u> power </u> x, that the <u> base </u> b, needs to be raised so that it equals the <u> argument </u> m. The power is also known as the exponent.

The value of b must be <u> positive </u> and not equal to <u> 1 </u>
The value of m must be <u> positive </u>
If 0 < m < 1, then x < 0
A <u> logarithmic </u> <u> equation </u> is an equation with a variable that includes one or more logarithms.
===============================================
Explanation:
Logarithms, or log for short, basically undo what exponents do.
When going from
to
, we have isolated the exponent.
More generally, we have
turn into 
When using the change of base formula, notice how

If b = 1, then log(b) = log(1) = 0, meaning we have a division by zero error. So this is why 
We need b > 0 as well because the domain of y = log(x) is the set of positive real numbers. So this is why m > 0 also.
96% is the answer 100%/x%=125/120
(100/x)*x=(125/120)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.04166666667*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.04166666667) to get x
100/1.04166666667=x
96=x
x=96
Answer:
567 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The Area for 1 Triangular playground = 1/2 × Base × Height
The base of the triangle is 18 yards. The height of the triangle is 21 yards.
Hence:
= 1/2 × 18 yards × 21 yards
= 189 square yards
The area of the Triangular 3 playground is given as:
= 3 × 189 square yards
= 567 square yards
