The student council is selling cupcakes at the school play.
The cost to make the cupcakes is a fixed $75 plus $0.17 per cupcake made.

Each cupcake sells for $2.00.

Write an inequality that could be solved to find the number of cupcakes, x, that the student council must make and sell to make a profit.

41 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cupcakes sold at the breakeven point where cost equals revenue realized.

-The cost and revenue  functions are expressed as:

#Equate the two functions at breakeven:

Break-even is reached after the sale of 40.098361 cupcakes.

Hence, the first profits($0.03)are realized after the sale of 41 cupcakes.
