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? 550w > 4500 + 200w 550w < 4500 + 200w 200w ≥ 4500 + 550w 200w > 4500 + 550w

The minimum number of weeks to work is 13 weeks because you will not earn enough money with 12 weeks but this problem suggests that you cannot go for a partial week
