Question

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?

Answer 1

To represent the various quantities of bookmarks Mark must sell, we can set up the following inequality:

2.50x + 20.00 ≥ 90.00

This inequality states that the total sales from selling the bookmarks (2.50x) and the handmade cards (20.00) must be greater than or equal to $90.00.
