To find the temperature that would make the ice cream shop have a positive profit, we need to find the temperature at which c is greater than 0 in the equation c = 17.6t - 721.6.
Set c > 0:
17.6t - 721.6 > 0
17.6t > 721.6
t > 41
Therefore, any temperature above 41 degrees Fahrenheit would make the ice cream shop have a positive profit.
An ice cream shop was doing research on its sales. The
results showed that the relationship between the average
daily temperature in Fahrenheit, t, and the daily ice
cream profit in dollars, c, could be modeled by the
equation c = 17.6t - 721.6.
According to the model, which of the following
temperatures to the nearest tenth of a degree would
make the ice cream shop have a positive profit?

I apologize for the oversight. Let's correct the error:
To find the temperature that would make the ice cream shop have a positive profit, we need to find the temperature at which c is greater than 0 in the equation c = 17.6t - 721.6.
Set c > 0:
17.6t - 721.6 > 0
17.6t > 721.6
t > 721.6 / 17.6
t > 41
Therefore, any temperature above 41 degrees Fahrenheit would make the ice cream shop have a positive profit. Thank you for your patience.
