PLEASE ANSWER ASAP The drama club is selling candles for a fundraiser. They spend $100 on the candles and sell them for $4.50 each. How many candles must they sell to make more than $125 profit? Let x represent the number of candles sold. Which inequality can you use to find x? 4.5x – 100 > 125 4.5x + 125 > 100 100 – 4.5x > 125 100 + 4.5x > 125

4.5x-100 > 125

Step-by-step explanation: Each candle costs $4.50, which can be simplified to 4.5. To determine how much they will make from the candles, you want to multiply the cost of the candles (4.5) by how many candles are sold (x), and this is where the 4.5x comes from. We subtract 100, because that is how much they spent on the candles they are selling (profit means how much you make after expenses). Since they're trying to make MORE THAN $125 in profit, we use the > sign.

$831.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that 0.16 is a percent:

Recall that the simple interest formula is a=p(1+rt).

a= final amount (Unknown)

p=starting amount ($770)

r= interest rate (0.16%)

t=time in years (6 months = 0.5 years)

Plug numbers into formula:

a=770(1+0.5*0.16)

Solve parentheses according to PEMDAS:

a=770(1.08)

Multiply:

a=831.6

$831.60
