Question

A grocer pays $7.00 for each carton of 14 cantaloupes. Which inequality describes p, the set of prices, in dollars, that he can charge for each cantaloupe to make more than $1.00 profit on each one?

Answer 1

I can tell you that is 50 cents for cantaloupe at that price....
So I think he'd have to charge $1.50. He'd get what he paid for back plus a dollar. If C= one cantaloupe ....it would look something like
p > $1.50c
BECAUSE 1.50 x 14 = 21 minus the 7 he paid would leave you with 14... on dollar per cantaloupe... so the price can be anything greater than $1.50

Answer 2

Answer: is * * A * *

A. p > 1.50

B. p < 1.50

C. p > 2.50
