Hope I could help! Good luck!

Answer 2

Answer: 7x > 35

Explanation:

Given : Myra sells peach cobblers at a farmers market.

She charges $12 for each cobbler.

It costs her $5 to make each cobbler.

Then Profit on each cobbler = Price she is charging - Cost of each cobbler

= $12- $5= $7

Let the number of cobblers made by her be x.

Then, the profit for x cobblers ( in dollars) = 7x

Also, There is a $35 fee she must pay each week to have a booth at the market.

Then, to earn profit , Her profit should be greater than $35.

i.e. 7x > 35

Hence, the inequality to find the number of cobblers mayra must sell each week in order to make a profit will be :-

7x > 35 ,m where x is the number of cobblers.
