The school orchestra is creating a CD of their last concert. The total cost to make the CD is $300 plus $2.50 per CD. They are selling the CDs for $10 each. How many CDs will they need to sell to make a profit?

They need to sell more than 40 CDs to make a profit.

Explanation:

They will make a profit when the sales are higher than the cost and with the information provided, you can write the following inequality:

10x>300+2.5x, where x is the number of CDs sold

Now, you can solve for x:

10x-2.5x>300

7.5x>300

x>300/7.5

x>40

According to this, the answer is that they need to sell more than 40 CDs to make a profit.
