Question

The goal of a toy drive is to donate more than 1000 toys. The toy drive already has collected 300 toys. How many more toys does the toy drive need to meet its goal? Write and solve an inequality shows the points you must earn to go the next level?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let t be the number of toys.

Since, the toy drive already has collected 300 toys

⇒ t+ 300

Also, it is given that the goal of a toy drive is to donate more than 1000 toys.

We get an inequality:

⇒$t + 300 > 1000$

Solve an inequality:  

$t + 300 > 1000$

Subtract 300 from both sides we get

$t + 300 -300 > 1000-300$

Simplify:

t > 700

Therefore, more than 700 toys does the toy drive need to meet its goal.

An inequality is; $t + 300 > 1000$ ;  t > 700
