Question

An online furniture store sells chairs for $150 each and tables for $550 each. The

store must sell at least $8500 worth of chairs and tables each day. Write an inequality
that could represent the possible values for the number of tables sold, t, and the
number of chairs sold, c, that would satisfy the constraint.

Answer 1

Answer: 550t + 150c ≥ 8500

Step-by-step explanation: the store makes 550 for each table sold, so for t tables, the store will make 550t dollars. The store makes 150 for each chair sold, so for c chairs, the store will make 150c dollars. Therefore, the total revenue 550t + 150c must be greater than or equal to 8500
