Which inequality models this problem?

Esin started a T-shirt-printing business. She spent $2500 to purchase supplies to get started and she uses about $4.50 worth of supplies per T-shirt printed. Esin charges $25 for each T-shirt. Let s represent the number of T-shirts.

What is the minimum number of T-shirts Esin will need to sell to make a profit?
Please explain!

4.5s>2500+25s

4.5s≥2500+25s

25s<2500+4.5s

25s>2500+4.5s

The correct answer would be

D) 25s>2500+4.5s

Hope this helps and have a great day!


because $2500 spent + $4.50 supplies on each T shirt

so selling each shirt $25, if you want to make profit...total selling t shirt has to be greater than the total spent
