Question 1075189: : Sean owns a business that builds computers. The fixed operating costs for his
business are $2,700 per week. In addition to fixed operating costs, each computer costs $600 to
produce. Each computer sells for $1,500. Write an inequality that can be used to determine the
number of computers Sean needs to sell in order make a profit each week. Solve the inequality,
and write your answer in a complete sentence.
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2700+600x<1500x is the profit function
or 1500x>2700+600x
900x>2700
x>3
He needs to sell at least 4 computers a week to make a profit, which will be $6000 of revenue minus $2700 in fixed costs minus $2400 costs of building 4 computers.
Note: 3 computers is break even, not a profit.
