Question

The manager of an electronics store projects that the store should achieve more than $21,000 in revenue from TVs and DVD players every day in order to remain profitable. Its DVD players sell for $380, and TVs sell for $530.

Write an inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.

Answer 1

380d + 530t > 21,000

Explanation:

Each DVD costs $380, we can represent that as:

380d

Each TV costs $530, we can represent that as:

530t

We add these together to find the total profit:

380d + 530t

The manager predicts that whatever the total profit is, will be more than $21,000. So, we represent that as this:

380d + 530t > 21,000

And that is the final answer.

I hope this helps!!
