Mrs. Kimble earns $125 per week working at a furniture store. For each

piece of furniture she sells, Mrs. Kimble earns an additional $5. This

week, she wants to earn more than $500. If c is the number of pieces

of furniture Mrs. Kimble sells, which inequality represents this situation,

and what quantities are true for c?

inequality: 125 + 5c > 500

c >75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality;

The fixed amount she earns per week (125) plus the product of the number of pieces of furniture she sells (c) and the earnings per furniture piece (5) must be greater than 500.

Mathematically speaking:

125 + 5c > 500

Solving for c:

5c > 500-125

5c >375

c >375 / 5

c > 75

More than 75 pieces.
