Let's denote the additional profit as 'x'. The revised inequality would be:
$x \leq 600 + 300$
Simplifying, we get:
$x \leq 900$
Now, if we make more than $600 additional profit, we have to give our parents 10% of the earnings above $600, which can be expressed as:
0.10(x - 600)
Therefore, the final inequality is:
$x - 0.10(x - 600) \leq 900$
Expanding and combining like terms:
$x - 0.10x + 60 \leq 900$
Simplifying:
$0.90x + 60 \leq 900$
Subtracting 60 from both sides:
$0.90x \leq 840$
Dividing both sides by 0.90:
$x \leq 933.33$
So, the solution to the inequality is:
$x \leq 933.33
Your parents heard about the success of your business and they want to help you out. Suppose they want to give you an additional $300 to put toward your business. However, there's a catch. If you make more than $600 additional profit, you have to give them 10% of your earnings above $600. For example, if you have earned $650, then you owe 10% of $50, or $5, to your parents. now that you have an additional $300, revise your inequality from part a to reflect your new spending limit. solve this inequality
