Question

->!Need Help!<-
1. Angelica's service club is selling flowers for a fundraiser. Each flower costs them $0.50 to purchase. They set the sale price of each flower at the purchase price plus 40%. Write and solve an equation to determine how many flowers they will need to sell to make a profit of $500. Use complete sentences to explain what each number and variable in your equation represents. Write your solution in the context of the original problem.

Answer 1

The only thing I need help on is writing an equation :)

Answer 2

Well each flower cost .50 to purchase so .50f

They sell each flower at 40% more than that so .50 + (.50 x .40)

And they want to make a profit of 500 or more...so greater than or equal to 500

.50f + (.50f x .40) - .50f >= 500

Now just solve for 'f'
