Question

PLEASE HELP FAST write an inequality as a word problem and solve it

Answer 1

If Addison owns a take out and for every delivery he charges $10, he wants to make at least $250 as daily sales figure. How much delivery must he make daily in order to achieve this?

`250\ge10x`

This is because when you see the expression "at least," that implies that Addison wants to make $250 or anything above that, and nothing less than that. The expressions at least, at most, greater than and less than all denote an inequality.

At least 250 as sales means Addison wants to make 250 or anything greater than that.

The solution therefore is shown below;

`\begin{gathered} 250\ge10x \\ \text{Divide both sides of the equation by 1}0 \\ 25\ge x \\ x\leq25 \end{gathered}`

If x is less than or equal to 25 (as shown in the solution), this means Addison must make 25 deliveries daily
