Since they want to make at least $140, that amount is the minimum and any amount greater than $140 is also an acceptable profit. So, the sign of the inequality will be a greater than or equal to sign. The inequality set-up will be:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"140%3E=3.50%2Ax\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Where $\"x\"$ represents the number of pastries that need to be sold.
\n" ); document.write( "To solve this we simply need to divide both sides by $3.50 to get $\"x\"$ by itself.
\n" ); document.write( "When we do this we find that in order to make $140, the french club must sell at least 40 pastries. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
