Question

Your baseball team is selling bags of popcorn to raise money for a trip. For each bag of popcorn you sell, $4 goes towards your trip. You hope to earn at least $140 for the trip. Write and solve an inequality that represents the numbers x of bags of popcorn you must sell to reach your goal.

Answer 1

To write the inequality...$4 per bag multiplied by the number of bags must be greater than or equal to $140.

$4x > $140
Divide both sides by 4
x=35

Answer 2

You must do 35 times 4 which is 140. X is 35 bags. You must sell 35 bags of popcorn
