Question

anonymous · Answer

.if they have to sell n tacos to make a profit, then 3.25*n>=210 ...

anonymous · Answer

im still confused....

anonymous · Answer

on what,?

anonymous · Answer

the asnsweerr...

anonymous · Answer

3.25x>210 (it needs to be greater than so they can make a profit)

Divide from 3.25 from both sides: 

x>64.62, but if the problem asks you to round, then you could just say 65. You should display this on a number line.

anonymous · Answer

Figure out how many tacos they need to sell to make more than $210. 
n= expenses/cost of taco

anonymous · Answer

can you guys just give me the answer ill give you a medal

anonymous · Answer

i already gave u the answer!

anonymous · Answer

Okay... let's see..

In order to make at least $210 by the end of the day, they'd have to sell at least 65 tacos at $3.25 each (I divided $210 by $3.25 and rounded 64.6 up to 65 because you can't sell half of a taco).

So, the inequality would be:
$$n \ge 65$$

n = number of tacos that must be sold.

make sure your inequality sign is "greater than or equal to", not just "greater than"

Go to the top option bar, click "insert", and then click "symbol", and you should be able to find the "greater than or equal to" symbol.
