This math is just too much and makes little to no sense.
Answer:
Natalie bought 500 apples at $0.40 each, then she pays $0.40 500 times, this means that the total cost of the 500 apples is:
Cost = 500*$0.40 = $200
Now she threw away n apples from the 500 apples, then the number of apples that she has now is:
apples = 500 - n
And she sells the remaining apples for $0.70 each.
a) The amount that she gets by selling the apples is:
Revenue = (500 - n)*$0.70
b) We know that she did not make a loss, then the revenue must be larger than the cost, this means that:
cost ≤ revenue
$200 ≤ (500 - n)*$0.70
c) We need to solve the inequality for n.
$200 ≤ (500 - n)*$0.70
$200/$0.70 ≤ (500 - n)
285.7 ≤ 500 - n
n + 285.7 ≤ 500
n ≤ 500 - 285.7
n ≤ 214.3
Then the maximum value of n must be equal or smaller than 214.3
And n is a whole number, then we can conclude that the maximum number of rotten apples can be 214.

<u> ASA Postulate (Angle-Side-Angle):</u>
If two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Consider triangles XYB and ZYA. In these triangles
- ∠X≅∠Z (given)
- XY≅ZY (given)
- ∠Y is common angle
By ASA Postulate, triangles XYB and ZYA are congruent. Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, so
BX≅AZ
The Numerator is 1, which is the top. The Denominator is the 8. I like to remember (D)own is the (D)enominator.
