Question

it is an inequalities question.

Answer 1

let x the number of bags the store has to sell to make a profit of no less than 5225 $

since the store makes a profit of 5.50 $  per bag we build the followin equation

5.50x = 5225  -->>>  x = 5225/5.50  =  950

Answer 2

( x is bags) 

5.50x >/= 5,225

divide 5.50 on each side 

x >/= 9.5 

round 9.5 to 10. 

x>/= 10

the store needs to sell 10 bags.
