3.5c−1.5d≥50Esa's Pastries sells cupcakes for $3.50 each and donuts for $1.50 each. The given inequality represents the difference, in dollars, between cupcake sales and donut sales on a typical day based on c, the number of cupcakes sold and d, the number of donuts sold. If Esa sold 200 donuts on a typical day, what is the minimum number of cupcakes she sold on that day?Choose 1 answer:(A) 25(B) 50(C) 100(D) 350
Q. 3.5c−1.5d≥50Esa's Pastries sells cupcakes for $3.50 each and donuts for $1.50 each. The given inequality represents the difference, in dollars, between cupcake sales and donut sales on a typical day based on c, the number of cupcakes sold and d, the number of donuts sold. If Esa sold 200 donuts on a typical day, what is the minimum number of cupcakes she sold on that day?Choose 1 answer:(A) 25(B) 50(C) 100(D) 350
Substitute Value of d: Substitute the value of d into the inequality.Given the inequality 3.5c−1.5d≥50 and knowing that Esa sold 200 donuts, we substitute d with 200.3.5c−1.5(200)≥50
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.Calculate 1.5×200 to find the total sales from donuts.3.5c−300≥50
Isolate Term with c: Isolate the term with c.Add 300 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with c.3.5c−300+300≥50+3003.5c≥350
Solve for c: Solve for c.Divide both sides of the inequality by 3.5 to find the minimum number of cupcakes c.c≥3.5350
Perform Division: Perform the division.Calculate 350 divided by 3.5 to find the minimum number of cupcakes.c≥100
