Question

Problem situation: Bernie spends $6.50 on ingredients and cups for his lemonade stand. He charges $1.50 for each cup of lemonade. How many cups, x, will Bernie need to sell to make a profit of at least $20? Inequality that represents this situation: 20≤1.50x−6.50 Drag each number to show if it is a solution to both the inequality and the problem situation, to the inequality only, or if it is not a solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

18 cups.

Explanation:

We are given that Bernie spends $6.50 on ingredients and cups for his lemonade stand. He charges $1.50 for each cup of lemonade. Inequality that represents this situation: .

To find number of cups x to make a profit of at least $20 we will use our given inequality.

Therefore, in order to make a profit of at least $20 Bernie need to sell 18 cups of lemonade.

Answer 2

this the right answer

Explanation:

SOLUTION TO BOTH THE INEQUALITY AND THE SITUATION

18, 23

SOLUTION TO THE INEQUALITY ONLY

17.7, 35.5

NOT A SOLUTION
