Question

alex rented a booth at the Comic Pro Conference to sell his new graphic novel. The booth rental is $50, and the cost to produce each book is 5.25 each. The novel sells for 12.95 each. Write am inequality to represent the number of graphic novels he must sell to make a profit.

Answer 1

12.95x > 5.25x + 50

Explanation:

Let x = number of books he sells.

total cost = cost of books + fixed cost

total cost = 5.25x + 50

income = 12.95x

To make a profit, the income from sales of books must be greater than the total cost.

12.95x > 5.25x + 50
