Part 1
Your class is selling boxes of flower seeds as a fundraiser. The total profit p depends on the amount x that your class charges for each box of seeds. The equation p= -0.5x²+25x-111 models the profit of the fundraiser.​ What's the smallest​ amount, in​ dollars, that you can charge and make a profit of at least ​$114​?

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

if we know we want a profit of at least 114, we need to solve for x.

if we put 12 for x we get the answer 117 and when we put 11 for x we get less than 114.

-0.5(12)^2 + 25(12)-111 = 117
