Mr. Riley can make a profit by raising at least 50, but not more than 150, cattle. If c represents the number of cattle, write the inequality that best expresses this situation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

To earn profit :   50 < c < 150  is the expression  that best expresses this situation.

 

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum number of cattle Mr. Riley can raise = 50

The maximum number of cattle Mr. Riley can raise = 150

Let the number of cattle is represented as  c.

So, according to the question:

To make profit,

Number of cattle  > 50

and Number of cattle < 150

or, c > 50

and c < 150

Hence, on combining both the expressions, we get

To earn profit  50 < c < 150     is the expression that best expresses this situation.
