Question

The Longton cheerleaders are trying to raise at least $3000 on their candy sale. If each box of candy sells for $7.50, how many boxes must they sell to reach their goal? Be sure to express your solution as an inequality.
A. x ≥ 400
B. x ≤ 400
C. x > 400
D. x < 400

Answer 1

The answer is A, because 7.5 times 400 is 3000 so you need at least 400 boxes.
