To solve the problem, we first need to set up the correct inequality based on the information provided.
Mason spends $600 for materials and wants to make a profit of $800. Therefore, his total revenue from selling \( n \) bracelets priced at \( p \) dollars each should cover both his expenses and the desired profit.
The inequality can be expressed as:
\[ Pn - 600 \geq 800 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ Pn \geq 1400 \]
Now, we also know that Mason can make at most 700 bracelets. Therefore, \( n \) can be at most 700. Thus, we can substitute 700 for \( n \):
\[ P(700) \geq 1400 \]
Now we can solve for \( P \):
\[ 700P \geq 1400 \]
Dividing both sides by 700 gives:
\[ P \geq \frac{1400}{700} \]
\[ P \geq 2 \]
This means Mason should charge at least $2 for each bracelet.
So the answer is:
A. 2 dollars
