You want to start a bakery business to earn money. The total amount of money you will invest is $10,000. You will be selling cakes. It will cost you $14 to make each cake. Solve this inequality and choose the graph of the solution.
* Make sure to round to the nearest whole number.

Let's say the number of cakes you will make is represented by the variable 'x'.
The total cost of making the cakes will be determined by multiplying the cost per cake ($14) by the number of cakes made (x). Since you want to invest $10,000, the cost equation is:
Cost equation: 14x = 10000
To solve this equation, let's divide both sides by 14:
x = 10000/14
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
x ≈ 714.29
Since you cannot make a fraction of a cake, you will round the number of cakes down to the nearest whole number:
x ≈ 714
So you will make around 714 cakes.
The inequality that represents this scenario is:
x ≤ 714 (since you cannot make a fraction of a cake)
Graphically, this can be represented by a solid dot at x = 714 and a line going down to the left, signifying that the number of cakes (x) can only be less than or equal to 714.
is this correct

Apologies for the incorrect response.
You are correct, my previous answer was inaccurate.
The correct inequality is:
14x ≤ 10,000
To solve this inequality, let's divide both sides by 14:
x ≤ 10,000/14
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
x ≤ 714.29
Rounding down to the nearest whole number:
x ≤ 714
So, the correct inequality is x ≤ 714.
Graphically, this is represented by a solid dot at x = 714 and a shaded area to the left of the dot, indicating that the number of cakes (x) should be less than or equal to 714.
