A jeweler is selling bracelets at an art convention. it costs $135 to obtain a booth at the convention. the cost to make a single bracelet is $4.50. the jeweler sells the bracelets for $12 each. The inequality 12b > 135 + 4.50b represents the situation in which the jeweler makes a profit.

(a) Loss from selling 15 necklaces

(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has missing details. (See the comment section for missing details)

Given

Solving (a): Will she make a profit from 15 necklaces

To do this, we substitute 15 for b in

The inequality is not true.

Hence, she'll make a loss from selling 15 necklaces

Solving (b): An expression that represents profit.

To do this, we solve for b in

Make b the subject

This implies that to make a profit, she must sell more than 18 necklaces.

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.

the answer to question 1 is -8, 28.
