The drama club is selling candles for a fundraiser. They spend $100 on the candles and sell them for $4.50 each. How many candles must they sell to make more than $125 profit?Let x represent the number of candles sold. Which inequality can you use to find x?

Revenue from selling x candles is $4.50x, and profit is revenue minus the $100 cost: 4.5x − 100. To make more than $125 in profit, set this expression greater than 125. Therefore, choice A, 4.5x − 100 > 125, is the correct inequality.
