Answer 1

Answer: B. X+26<2x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of lemonade Kaylee needs to sell to make a higher profit than Jason.

Given: Jason has made $26. he charge $1 per lemonade.

Total earnings after x lemonades = $26+($1) x

= $(26+x)

Kaylee has made $16. he charge $2 per lemonade.

Total earnings after x lemonades = $16+($2) x

= $(16+2x)

Required inequality : (16+2x)> (26+x)

i.e. correct option is B.
