Unit 4 Portfolio Part 1
You want to start a bakery business to earn money. The total amount of money you will invest is $10,000. You will be selling cakes. It will cost you $14 to make each cake.
Write an inequality that represents the cost of making x amount of cakes should not exceed this investment.
* Do not include the dollar symbol in the inequality
14x ≤ 10000
The inequality that represents the cost of making x amount of cakes should not exceed the investment of $10,000 is:
14x ≤ 10,000
To write an inequality that represents the cost of making x amount of cakes, we need to consider that the cost per cake is $14 and the total investment is $10,000.
The cost of making x amount of cakes can be calculated by multiplying the cost per cake ($14) by the number of cakes (x). Therefore, the inequality can be represented as:
14x ≤ 10,000
This inequality states that the cost of making x amount of cakes should not exceed the investment of $10,000.
