Question 945757: I don't know if this goes here but here's the problem. (I have to solve the inequality)
Fantastic Flags, Inc. finds that the cost to make x flags is C=9x+14,525, while the revenue produced is R=41x (C and R are in dollars). What is the smallest whole number of flags, x, that must be sold for the company to show a profit?

Profit, P is P=R-C,
P%28x%29=41x-%289x%2B14525%29, and to ensure P%3E0 you want the inequality using domain of natural numbers: 41x-9x-14525%3E0.

32x%3E14525
x%3E14525%2F32

x%3E453.9, and because we must have a natural number, we want to round UP, not down; because rounding down will give us a number not great enough for the inequality.
highlight%28x%3E=454%29.
