Question

A boutique wants to make at least $127 profit from purses this week. The boutique earns $7 profit from each purse. How many purses must be sold?

Answer 1

19 purses

Explanation:

Set up an inequality where x represents the number of purses:

127
`\geq` 7x

Solve for x by dividing each side by 7:

18.14
`\geq` x

Round up to 19 because purses have to be whole

So, 19 purses have to be sold.
