Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of daffodils that the charity needs to sell in order for the profit to be positive.

The charity has spent $250 on supplies and plans to sell them for $5 each. This means that the revenue from x daffodils would be $5d. Therefore,

A) An inequality that gives the possible numbers d of daffodils the charity needs to sell in order for the profit to be positive is

5d ≥ 250

B) the possible numbers of daffodils the charity needs to sell in order for the profit to be positive would be

d ≥ 250/5

d ≥ 50

C) if they bought 55 daffodil bulbs, they would make profit because

55 * 5 = $275

The profit made would be

275 - 250 = $25
