Ahmad sold 125 shares of stock for x dollars that he had purchased for $32.75 per share.
a. How much did he originally pay for the shares of the stock?
125*32.75 = 4093.75
---------------------------
b. Write an inequality that represents an amount such that Ahmad made money from the sale of stocks.
Gain >= 125x-4093.75
---------------------------
c. Suppose Ahmad lost money on the stocks. Write an inequality that represents an amount such that Ahmad lost no more than $1,000 from the sale of the stocks
4093.75-125x <= 1000
