mitu12 · Answer

can someone help me to figure out the equation please

dangerousjesse · Answer

There isn't a price listed for the teddy bears, so I'm going to assume that they mean they profit 8 dollars per teddy bear.

dangerousjesse · Answer

So $8x\geq 1500$

mitu12 · Answer

will the equation be 1500+8x=12x

dangerousjesse · Answer

Or if they mean 8 dollars per bear then x profit separately, $x\times \textsf{total bears sold}$$\geq 1500+8\times\textsf{total bears bought}$

dangerousjesse · Answer

Where did you get 12 from?

mitu12 · Answer

ive seen some other questions with 12 in it

dangerousjesse · Answer

If there's no twelve in this question, then any other questions you've had are irrelevant..

mitu12 · Answer

ohhh on the picture i saw a price of $12

dangerousjesse · Answer

I wish you would have said that earlier ;-;
