Can someone please help me on this?

Jessica is ordering rackets for her school. Racket
World charges $4.75 for each racket and a one-time
shipping fee of $40. Tennis King charges $8.50 for
each trophy and a one-time shipping of $23. What
inequality can be used to find x, the minimum number
of rackets that can be ordered so that the total charge at
Racket World is less than the total charge at Tennis
King?

Answer:

She will pay $52.68

Step-by-step explanation:

One can of tennis ball is $4 and there are no discount on it. Elena bought 3 cans, so:

can = 3 x 4 = 12

One tennis racket is $43 but it has a discount of 15%:

discount = 0.15 x 43 = 6.45

total racket = 43 - 6.45 = 36.55

Elena will have to pay:

pay = 12 + 36.55 = 48.55

She will also have to pay taxes, which are 8.5% over the price she paid:

pay + tax = 48.55 x 0.085 = 4.13

total to pay = 48.55 + 4.13 = 52.68

Buying 3 can of tennis ball and one racket, Elena paid $52.68, including taxes.
