For this case we have:

  • Initial costs = $ 52,000
  • Operating costs = $ 680 per day
  • Earnings = $ 960 per day

Part A:

Since d is the variable that represents the number of days, we can represent an inequality for the gains given by:

[tex]680d + 52000 <960d\\[/tex]

Part B:

We want to know the moment from which Julianne obtains earnings, for that we clear d of the previous inequality:

[tex]52000 <960d-680d\\\\52000 <280d\\\\\frac{52000}{280}<d\\[/tex]

[tex]185.7 <d\\\\d> 186 days\\[/tex]

To start making a profit, Julianne must work more than 186 days.

Answer:

[tex]680d + 52000 <960d\\\\d> 186 days\\\\[/tex]
