Answer:
1st drop box: (1) 7.5x - 100 > 79.86 + 5.8x
2nd drop box: (4) x > 105.8
3rd drop box: (4) 106
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1st drop box: </u>
Revenue (the money you receive) must be greater than the costs (money you spend) to make a profit.
<u>2nd drop box:</u>
Use basic algebra to solve for x:
7.5x - 100 > 79.86 + 5.8x
(subtract 5.8x from both sides)
1.7x - 100 > 79.86
(add 100 to both sides)
1.7x > 179.86
(divide both sides by 1.7)
x > 105.8
<u>3rd drop box:</u>
We already know the solution to the inequality is x > 105.8
Notice how all the answer choices are whole numbers and the inequality sign is "greater than" and not "greater than or equal to".
That means it doesn't include 105.8
And it can't be 105 because 105 is NOT greater than 105.8
So the answer is 106
