Let's assume the number of cakes you will make and sell is represented by the variable 'x'.
The cost of making each cake is $14, so the total cost of making 'x' cakes would be 14x.
The total amount of money you will invest is $10,000, which means the cost of making 'x' cakes should not exceed $10,000.
So, our inequality equation becomes:
14x ≤ 10000
To solve this inequality, we divide both sides of the equation by 14:
x ≤ 714.28
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the maximum number of cakes you can make and sell is 714.
Graphing the solution on a number line, we represent the range as:
x ≤ 714
Below is a simple graph representing this solution on a number line:
---------------------[===================]->
0 714 1000
On the graph, the shaded part from 0 to 714 represents the possible values of 'x'.
You want to start a bakery business to earn money. The total amount of money you will invest is $10,000. You will be selling cakes. It will cost you $14 to make each cake.
solve this inequality and choose the graph of the solution make sure to round to the nearest whole number.
