Answer

The number of package is greater than 1200.

Work Step by Step

Consider the given condition. It forms the equation as, $3000+3x<5.5x$ Solve the above the equation. $\begin{align} & 3000+3x<5.5x \\ & 5.5x-3x>3000 \\ & x>\frac{3000}{2.5} \\ & x>1200 \end{align}$ This shows that the number of package that must be produced and sold each week for the company to generate a profit is greater than 1200. Thus, the number of package produced and sold is greater than 1200.
