She must sell at least 30 beaded necklaces to make a profit of at least $500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

Where $95 is the cost of renting the booth, and n is the number of necklaces

To break even the equation is:

95+15x = 35x

Since she wants at least have a profit of $500, (at least means more or equal)

The profit will be placed in the cost side:

95 +15x+500 ≤35x

Solving:

95+500≤35x-15x

595 ≤ 20x

595/20 ≤ x

29.75≤ x

Rounded

30 ≤x

She must sell at least 30 beaded necklaces to make a profit of at least $500.
