Question

the leukemia and lymphoma society sponsors a 5k race to raise money it receives 55 per race and 10,000 in donations but it must spend 15 per race entry to cover the cost of the race write and solve an inequality

Answer 1

I think the inequality is 55,000>=40x+5,000 while x<=1,250 i have the same test
Hmm i think its this 55,000 >= 40x+5,000 because it needs atleast 55,000
Which explains 55,000>= second receives 55 per race but spend 15 race in other terms 55x-15x= 40 x
So 55,000>=40x third 10,000 in donations sponsers a 5,000 race 10,000-5,000=5,000 so 55,000>=40x+5,000
Also to find x 55,000>=40x+5,000 subtract 5,000
50,000>=40x now divide by 40
50,000/40>=x
X<= 1,250
