Answer:

(a) Loss from selling 15 necklaces

(b) [tex]b > 18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has missing details. (See the comment section for missing details)

Given

[tex]12b > 135 + 4.50b[/tex]

Solving (a): Will she make a profit from 15 necklaces

To do this, we substitute 15 for b in [tex]12b > 135 + 4.50b[/tex]

[tex]12 * 15 > 135 + 4.50 * 15[/tex]

[tex]180 > 202.5[/tex]

The inequality is not true.

Hence, she'll make a loss from selling 15 necklaces

Solving (b): An expression that represents profit.

To do this, we solve for b in [tex]12b > 135 + 4.50b[/tex]

[tex]12b - 4.50b > 135[/tex]

[tex]7.5b > 135[/tex]

Make b the subject

[tex]b > \frac{135}{7.5}[/tex]

[tex]b > 18[/tex]

This implies that to make a profit, she must sell more than 18 necklaces.
