Veronica is ordering trophies for her school. Company P charges $3.50 for each trophy and a one-time engraving fee of $25. Company R charges $7.50 for each trophy and a one-time engraving fee of $17. Which inequality can be used to find x, the minimum number of trophies that can be ordered so that the total charge at Company P is less than the total charge at Company R?

Required inequality :

Solution: x<2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of trophies.

Company P charges $3.50 for each trophy and a one-time engraving fee of $25.

Total charge for x trophies from Company P=

Company R charges $7.50 for each trophy and a one-time engraving fee of $17.

Total charge for x trophies from Company R =

When total charge at Company P is less than the total charge at Company R, then

Required inequality :

Solution: x<2.
