A used car dealer prices her cars so that she makes a minimum profit of 15% on each car sold. If she acquired a car for $4,500, which inequality can be used to determine the acceptable selling prices, p, of that car? 1.15 p less-than-or-equal-to 4,500 1.15 p greater-than-or-equal-to 4,500 p less-than-or-equal-to 1.15 (4,500) p greater-than-or-equal-to 1.15 (4,500)

Answer:


p\geq 1.15(4,500)

Explanation:

If she makes a minimum profit, we need to use the symbol
\geq, which indicates minimum quality.

Let's call
p profit, so the inequality which represent this problem would be


p\geq 1.15(4,500)

The price of the car is multiplied by 1.15, because she must add her profit comission which is 0.15 or 15%.

Therefore, the right answer is the last choice.
