A local bakery has a daily operating cost of $1800 plus a cost of $10 per cake they make. If a cake sells for $15, which equation could be used to determine the minimum number of cakes, c, they must sell each day to earn a profit?

• 15c < 1800 + 10c

• 15c > 1800 + 10c

• 15c = 1800 + 10c

• 10c < 1800 + 15c

At the beginning of the year, Ethan has $800 in his savings account and Faith has $1,280 in her savings account.  Each month, Ethan deposits and additional $25 in his account, while Faith withdraws $15 from her account.  Write an equation to show after how many months will Ethan’s account have a greater balance than Faith’s account?

• 800 - 25x  < 1280 - 15x
• 800 + 25x < 1280 - 15x
• 800 + 25x  > 1280 - 15x
• 800 + 25x >  1280 + 15x

Solve for x:
5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• x = 6
• x = -6
• x = -18/13
• x = 10/3

A hockey season ticket holder pays $72.48 for all of her tickets plus $6 for a program each game. A second person pays $18.08 for a ticket to each game, but doesn’t buy programs.  Write an equation that shows when the two fans will pay the same amount.
In how many games will they have paid the same amount? 

• 18.08 + 6x = 72.48x;  6 games
• 72.48 + 6x = 18.08; 9 games
• 72.48 + 6x = 18.08x; 9 games
• 72.48 + 6x = 18.08x; 6 games

Solve for x:
5x - 14 = 8x + 4

• x = 6
• x = -6
• x = -18/13
• x = 10/3

Sue's lunch account has $25 and she spends $2.50 every day. Troy's lunch account has $50 and she spends $3.25 every day. Write an inequality that shows when Sue's account will be more than Troy's.

• 25 - 2.5d > 50 - 3.25d
• 25 - 2.5d < 50 - 3.25d
• 25 + 2.5d > 50 + 3.25d
• 25 + 2.5d < 50 + 3.25d
