Question 266276
I need to write a linear inequality for: 
A company manufactures and sells personalized stationery. 
The weekly fixed cost is $3000 and it costs $3.00 to produce each package of stationery. 
The selling price is $5.50 per package. 
How many packages of stationery must be produced and sold each week for the company to have a profit?
---
Let the number of packs sold be "x".
Revenue = 5.50x dollars
Overhead = 3000 + 3.00x
---------------
Inequality:
Profit means Revenue > Overhead
Solve 5.50x > 3000+3.00x for "x":
2.50x > 3000
x > 1200 (# of packs they need to sell to make a profit)
