Inequality it cost $20 make and would sell for $10 and the spending limit is $100
If it costs $20 to make an item and it is sold for $10, it results in a loss of $10 per item.
Let's say x is the number of items produced and sold.
The total cost of production would be 20x, and the total revenue from selling the items would be 10x. Since the spending limit is $100, the total cost of production should not exceed $100. Therefore, we can set up the following inequality:
20x ≤ 100
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 20 gives:
x ≤ 5
Hence, the number of items produced and sold should be less than or equal to 5 in order to stay within the spending limit of $100.
