In order to find the inequality for the various quantities of bookmarks, we need to determine the minimum number of handmade cards Mark must sell to reach a sales total of $90.00.
Let's assume Mark sells x number of bookmarks and y number of handmade cards.
The cost of x bookmarks is 2.50x.
The cost of y handmade cards is 20y.
The total sales must reach a minimum of $90.00, so we can write the equation:
2.50x + 20y ≥ 90
However, the prompt states that Mark must sell at least one handmade card, so y must be greater than or equal to 1.
Therefore, the correct inequality for the quantities of bookmarks Mark must sell is:
x≥16
Mark runs a stall selling handmade cards and bookmarks.
Each handmade card costs $20.00.
Each bookmark costs $2.50.
Mark wants his total sales to reach a minimum of $90.00 through the sale of at least one handmade card and several bookmarks. What inequality represents the various quantities of bookmarks (x) Mark must sell?
