Four hundred seventy and forty seven hundredth
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
You have the following equation given in the problem above:
<span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
</span> When you solve for bx, you have:
<span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx-10=16
-2bx=26
bx=26/-2
bx=-13
When you solve for b, you obtain:
</span><span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx=26
b=-(26/2x)
When yoo solve for x:
</span>2bx=26
x=-(26/2b)<span>
</span>
Here is the inequality you can enumerate:
5x >= 200, this means the money you sold for cakes must be larger or equal to your goal
x <= 100, this means you cannot sell more than 100 cakes, because you only have 100 cakes
Solve for them, you will get: 40 <= x <= 100
