Answer:

1. B

2. D

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lon's cost would be the $12 per basket times how many baskets he sells, in this case b plus the cost of the table. Lon's expression is 12b + 75

2. He needs a profit and the only way he could make that profit is if he sells more than 12.

20b > 12b + 75

20 (12) > 12 (12) + 75

240 > 140 + 75

240 > 215

1-B
