Revenue = 7.5x - 100
Operation Costs = 5.8x + 79.86

To break even, operation cost = Revenue
⇒ 7.5x - 100 = 5.8x + 79.86
7.5x = 5.8x + 179.86 (Add 100 to both sides)

7.5x - 5.8x = 179.86
1.7x = 179.86
x = 105.8

This implies that the company will need to sell at least 106 items to make a profit.

The inequality that will determine the number of items at need to be sold to make a profit is x ≥ 106

The solution to the inequality is as follows

Revenue = 7.5x - 100
if x =106
Revenue = 7.5(106) - 100
Revenue = 695

Operational Cost = 5.8x + 79.86
if x = 106
Operational Cost = 5.8(106) + 79.86
Operational Cost = 694.66

Profit ≥ (695 - 694.66)
Profit ≥ 0.34

The company must sell at least 106 items to make a profit.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must know that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound so the amount of ounces in 5 pounds would be 80 ounces so first you would take out one ounce for the $0.35 and would then have 79 ounces. After that you would multiply 79 by .10 to get 7.90 then add the .35 to that to get

Pavel [41]

We first must calculate how many ways 2 oblects can be chosen from 5.

combinations = 5! / 2! * (5-2)!

combinations = 5*4 / 2

combinations = 10


There are 10 ways to choose the 2 buttons and 5 ways to choose the final butto so there are 10 * 5 = 50 different ways.
