77.For a certain provider, an international phone call costs $2.00 for the first 3 min, plus
$0.30 per minute for each minute or fractional part of a minute after the first 3 min. If
xrepresents the number of minutes of the length of the call after the first 3 min, then
represents the cost of the call. If Alan Lebovitz has $5.60 to spend on a call,
what is the maximum total time he can use the phone?
78.At the Speedy Gas’n Go, a car wash costs $4.50 and gasoline is selling for $3.20 per gal-
lon. Carla Arriola has $38.10 to spend, and her car is so dirty that she must have it
washed. What is the maximum number of gallons of gasoline that she can purchase?

A company that produces DVDs has found that revenue from the sales of the DVDs is $5per
DVD, less sales costs of $100.Production costs are $125,plus $4per DVD. Profit (P) is given
by revenue (R) less cost (C), so the company must find the production level x that makes
that is,
79.Write an expression for revenue R, letting xrepresent the production level (number of
DVDs to be produced).
80.Write an expression for production costs Cin terms of x.
81.Write an expression for profit P, and then solve the inequality
82.Describe the solution in terms of the problem.

Concept Check Write a three-part inequality involving the variable x that describes each
set of numbers graphed.
