Answer:

106 items

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

revenues > costs

7.5x – 100 > 79.86 + 5.8x

7.5x - 5.8x > 79.86 + 100  

1.7x > 179.86  

x > 179.86 / 1.7  

x > 105.8

This means that the company will need to sell at least 106 items (the smallest integer greater than 105.8) to make a profit.

The inequality which will determine the number of least items that need to be sold to make a profit is x ≥ 106
