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? a) 3.5 + 25x < 7.5 + 17x b) 3.5 + 25x > 7.5 + 17x c) 3.5x + 25 < 7.5x + 17 d) 3.5x + 25 > 7.5x + 17

The answer is C) 3.5x + 25 < 7.5x + 17

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason why is because first you have to set up the equation.

3.5 is the variable because of the keyword each and 25 isnt because that is a one time fee

this is how the company p equation should look like.

3.5x+25

same thing with company r

7.50 is the variable because of the keyword each and 17 isnt because that is a one time fee

this is how the company r equation should look like.

7.5x+17

now that you have both it says the total charge of company p when its less than p

now it should look like this

C) 3.5x + 25 < 7.5x + 17

and thats how u get the answer

answer: 414,377,008
