Question

The soccer team is selling key chains to raise money for the team. They ordered 100 key chains the cost $0.25 each. There is a flat shipping rate at $8. The team sells the key chains for $2 each. Write an algebraic inequality to find the fewest number of key chains,k, the team must sell to make profit

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 8 + 100 (.25) - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there's a flat shipping rate, you need to first add 8.

Then you have to pay for the 100 key chains at $.25 each so you have to multiply them to get the total cost.

Next you earn 2 dollars for every key chain sold which becomes the 2x. You are then subtracting this from the amount of money you are spending to get k.
