Solution

The correct option is B $$ 138$
Profit made in the month of October $= $ 150$
Let profit made in month of September be $x$ .
Given,
Profit made in the month of October is at least 12 more than the profit made in month of September.
$150 \geq x + 12$

Subtract 12 from both the sides.
$150 - 12 \geq x + 12 - 12$

$138 \geq x$ which is also written as $x \leq 138$ .

The maximum profit in september is $$ 138.$
A closed circle at $138$ and the red line goes to the left, indicating that $x$ is less than or equal to $138.$

Hence, option (b.) is the correct choice.
