    They must make lunches of a number greater than 8 to make a profit.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let there be x lunches the student has to make.

    So, the selling price of the x lunches will be 4x.

    Now, they had to pay an advertising fee of $20 and the ingredients cost $1.5 to make each lunch.

    So, the total making charges of x lunches is (20 + 1.5x).

    To make a profit the condition is 4x > 20 + 1.5x

    ⇒ 2.5x > 20

    ⇒ x > 8.

    Therefore, they must make lunches of a number greater than 8 to make a profit. (Answer)
