Answer

More than $6250$ DVDs must be produced.

Work Step by Step

Let the number of DVDs produced each week be $x$. The weekly cost price of the DVDs is $\$10,000$ plus $\$0.40$ per DVDs. The weekly selling price of the DVDs is $\$2.00$ per DVDs. In the mathematical form. The weekly cost price $=10,000+0.40x$. The weekly selling price $=2.00x$. The inequality for the company profit is The weekly selling price $>$ The weekly cost price. The inequality is $\Rightarrow 2.00x>10,000+0.40x$. Add $-0.40x$ to both sides. $\Rightarrow 2.00x-0.40x>10,000+0.40x-0.40x$. Simplify. $\Rightarrow 1.60x>10,000$. Divide both sides by $1.60$. $\Rightarrow \frac{1.60x}{1.60}>\frac{10,000}{1.60}$. Simplify. $\Rightarrow x>6250$. Hence, more than $6250$ DVDs must be produced.
