Answer 1

The correct inequality is:

2b - 400 ≥ 1000

This inequality states that the total profit from selling candy bars (2b) minus the cost of buying the bars ($400) is greater than or equal to the required amount to go on the trip ($1000).

No, the 725 bars are not a viable option because they will not generate enough profit.
