Question

An advertising agency provides services to a pizza shop for a fixed rate of $2,500 per month plus a commission of 42% of the pizza's take-out sales. For this account to be profitable, the agency needs to bring in at least $8,800 a month from the pizza shop.

A. Write an inequality to represent what the pizza shop take-out sales must be for the advertising agency to be profitable.

B. Solve the inequality from Part A.

Answer 1

\[2500+0.42x >8800\]

Answer 2

That will be your inequality, because 2500 is a fixed given value, and 0.42x resembles the pizza sales that must be GREATER than 8800 (profit)

Answer 3

So now just solve for x

Answer 4
