HELPPPPPP!!!!!! I NEED HELP OMGGG....

A jewelry artist is selling necklaces at an art fair. It costs $105 to rent a booth at the fair. The cost of materials for each necklace is $4.50. The artist is selling the necklaces at $12 each.
The inequality 12n > 105 + 4.50n represents the situation in which the artist makes a
profit.

A)Will the artist make profit if she sells 15 necklaces? Show how you know.

B) explain or show your reasoning

Answer 1

They will break even... but im not 100% sure im correct

Explanation:

Im not 100% sure but here is what i have...

based on the given inequality the new one would be 15n>105+4.50n,

First subtract the 4.50n from the right side of the inequlaity sign.

Now you should have 10.5n>105

second, plug in a random number to see if she will make money or not..

I used 10, so plug 10 in for "N".

it will look like this, 10.5(10)>105

now do the math and get, 105>105,

which brings me to the cunclution she breaks even..
