Stephanie started selling earrings online at a handmade shop. She makes a profit of $8.50 on each pair of earrings. If she wants to make a profit of no less than $765 this month, how many pairs of earrings does she need to sell? Write and solve an inequality to model this solution.

90 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use clues from the problem in order to set up our inequality.

First, we know that a pair of earrings, , costs $8.50. So, we can say that total profit.

That's a function we could use, but we need an inequality. Well, it says that Stephanie wants to make no less, or at least $765. This indicates that we need the 'greater than or equal to' symbol. Just replace the equal sign:

Now we can isolate to find how many earrings she needs to sell to make a profit of at least $765.

Stephanie needs to sell at least 90 pairs of earrings.

Hope this helps!

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
