Answer:

$2x - $15 ≥ $25

  • $2 is the price of each cookie
  • x is the number of cookies
  • $15 is the amount spent on supplies
  • ≥ is the inequality sign
  • $25 is the least amount of profit

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Addy is selling each cookie for $2, so let x represent the number of cookies. The number of cookies she sells is $2x.

Also remember that she spent $15, so we must subtract $15 from her cookie sales of $2x.

So, we have half of our equation: $2x - $15

Now, she needs to make atleast $25 from all of this, so we can use the ≥ symbol for that.

So our final equation is: $2x - $15 ≥ $25
