It will take 5.5 weeks to make a profit of $375.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Starting amount of company = $100
Profit per week = $50
Profit to make = $375
Let,
w be the number of weeks.
Therefore,
100 + 50w ≥ 375
Subtracting 100 from both sides;
[tex]100-100+50w\geq 375-100\\50w\geq 275[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 50
[tex]\frac{50w}{50}\geq \frac{275}{50}\\w\geq 5.5[/tex]
It will take 5.5 weeks to make a profit of $375.
