Question 1168355
let y equal the number of ice cream cones you have to sell to make a profit.


if you have to sell more than 25 cones to make a profit, your inequality becomes:


y >= 25


if you already sold 15 ice cream cones, then subtract 15 from both sides of this inequality to get:


y - 15 >= 10


what this says is you have to sell more than 10 more cones to make a profit if you already sold 15.
