Question

24x - 67 > 500

• 24 - Number of jars
we can sell every week...
67-what it costs to make
the jars of cheese each week...
• 500-Amount of money I need
to make each week to keep
the farm going...
x - price per jar...

Possible prices
$9 $14 $19 $24 $29

What is the price amount

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, we need to solve the inequality:

24x - 67 > 500

Add 67 to both sides:

24x > 567

Divide both sides by 24:

x > 23.625

We know x is the price per jar and the options given are:

$9 $14 $19 $24 $29

The only price that satisfies the inequality x > 23.625 is $24.

Therefore, the price per jar needs to be at least $24 to make enough money to keep the farm going.
