Explanation:

Ashley is making bracelets to sell. She wants to make at least $450. Each bracelet costs $18 to make. She is selling them for $30 each. What is the minimum number she can sell to reach her goal

Let us represent the minimum number of bracelets she can sell= x

Hence, our Equation is

$18 + $30 × x ≤ $450

$18 + 3x ≤ 450

3x ≤ $450 - $18

3x ≤ $432

x ≤ $432/3

x ≤ 144

The minimum number of bracket = 144 bracelets
