Question 1063656: Ken is selling each of the belts he makes for $12.50 each at the craft fair. It costs $4.50 for the material to make 2 belts. How many belts does he have to sell to earn a profit of at least $150?

n, belts to sell

n=14.634, but Ken must sell whole number of belts; no part of a belt.
If the cost for two belts could be shared, then n=15. If the cost MUST be $4.5 for TWO belts, then n=16.
