Farmer Jane would like to show a net profit of $1,000 per month. She is growing tomatoes and sells them for $3 per pound. Her variable costs per pound are $1, and she has $700 in fixed cost. How many pounds does she need to sell?

850

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pound of tomatoes costs one dollar to produce, and sells for three dollars. That's a net profit of 2 dollars per pound of tomatoes.

We need a profit of 1000 dollars, and to pay the 700 dollars in operating costs, for a total of 1700 dollars needed.

So 1700 dollars divided by 2 dollars per pound of tomatoes comes out to 850 pounds of tomatoes.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
