Which inequality models this problem?   Josephine started a business selling cosmetics. She spent $4500 to obtain her merchandise, and it costs her $200 per week for general expenses. She earns $550 per week in sales. What is the minimum number of weeks it will take for Josephine to make a profit?   A. 550w > 4500 + 200w   B. 200w ≥ 4500 + 550w   C. 550w < 4500 + 200w   D. 200w > 4500 + 550w

Respuesta :

for profit her costs must be less than income. so costs < income
her costs are $4500 + $200 multiplied by number of weeks (w)
= $4500 + $200w
and her income is $550 multiplied by number of weeks (w)
= $550w
so for profit $4500 + $200 < $550w
hence A

Answer:the answer is A. 550w > 4500 + 200w
