A stained glass artist has a fixed cost of $150. It costs the artist $15 to procedure each piece, but each piece sells for $35. The equation C=150+15n represents the total cost, C, for producing n pieces. The total revenue for n pieces is determined by the equation R=35n. What constaint is necessary to include when modeling this situation? - n must be greater than or equal to 0, since the number of items created cannot be negative. - R must be greater than or equal to 35, since the number of items will always be positive. - R-C must be less than or equal to 0, since the artist wants to make money. - C must be 150, since there is a fixed cost to produce each piece.

Step 1   Given,   Total cost =C=150+15n   total revenue =R=35n   to make profit we have to increse production  R−C&amp;gt;0  35n−15n−150&amp;gt;0  15n&amp;gt;150  n&amp;gt;10  if n&amp;gt;10 or atleast 10 piece have to produce to cross fixed amount.  Step 2   R−C must be greater than zero and always positive to make money.   n should be always positive.
