Question

the 23 members of the school jazz band are trying to raise at least $1,800 to cover the cost of traveling to a competition . the members have already raised $750. which inequality could you solve to find the amount that each member should raise to meet the goal?

Answer 1

If you would like to find the inequality to solve to find the amount that each member should raise to meet the goal, you can do this using the following steps:

x ... the amount of money that each member should raise
x * 23 members + $750 >= $1,800
x * 23 + 750 >= 1,800
x * 23 >= 1,800 - 750
x * 23 >= 1,050         /23
x >= 1,050 / 23
x >= $45.65

The correct result would be: x * 23 members + $750 >= $1,800.
