    inequality: 125 + 5c > 500

    c >75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality;

    The fixed amount she earns per week (125) plus the product of the number of pieces of furniture she sells (c) and the earnings per furniture piece (5) must be greater than 500.

    Mathematically speaking:

    125 + 5c > 500

    Solving for c:

    5c > 500-125

    5c >375

    c >375 / 5

    c > 75

    More than 75 pieces.
