Veronica is ordering trophies for her school. Company P charges $3.50 for each trophy and a one-time engraving fee of $25. Company R charges $7.50 for each trophy and a one-time engraving fee of $17. Which inequality can be used to find x, the minimum number of trophies that can be ordered so that the total charge at Company P is less than the total charge at Company R?

Required inequality :

Solution: x<2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of trophies.

Company P charges $3.50 for each trophy and a one-time engraving fee of $25.

Total charge for x trophies from Company P=

Company R charges $7.50 for each trophy and a one-time engraving fee of $17.

Total charge for x trophies from Company R =

When total charge at Company P is less than the total charge at Company R, then

Required inequality :

Solution: x<2.

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x
