The drama club is selling candles for a fundraiser. they spend $100 on the candles and sell them for $4.50 each. how many candles must they sell to make more than $125 profit? let x represent the number of candles sold. which inequality can you use to find x?

They must sell 51 candles to make more than $125 profit.

The inequality, we can use to find x is:  

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of candles sold is

They spend $100 on the candles and sell them for $4.50 each.

So, the total selling price of candles dollars

and the profit will be:   dollars.

Given that, they need to make more than $125 profit.

So, the inequality will be:  

Solving the above inequality.......

As the number of candles can't be in fraction, that means the minimum number of candles, they must sell is 51.
