Question 8 • HCISD-Mathematical Models with Applications B-CR SUMMER
Gabriela makes a profit of $0.80 for every cup of coffee that she sells at her coffee shop. She wanted to make a profit of at least $75 today on coffee. If she sold 90 cups today, which statement is correct?
Answer
A
She met her goal, because she made less than $75 on coffee today.
B
She met her goal, because she made more than $75 on coffee today.
C
She missed her goal, because she made less than $75 on coffee today.
D
She missed her goal, because she made more than $75 on coffee today.
Explanation
Gabriela earns $0.80 per cup, so her profit from 90 cups is 90 × $0.80 = $72. Since $72 is less than her goal of at least $75, she missed her goal. The correct statement is “She missed her goal, because she made less than $75 on coffee today.”
