Answer:

Inequality:[tex]0.25x\geq 145[/tex]

Answer: At least 580 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say they sell x cookies.

Now, that means they will make 0.25x as their income(the price multiplied by the number of cookies).

We know that totally they need to make 100+45 dollars, because that is what will give them a $100 profit. So they need to make $145

Now just set 0.25x equal to $145.

[tex]0.25x=145[/tex], and now solve

[tex]x=145*4[/tex]

[tex]x=580[/tex]

For an inequality, we could just say that:

[tex]0.25x\geq 145[/tex]
