Question

The French club is sponsoring a bake sale.if their goal is to raise at least $140,how many pastries must they sell at $3.50 each in order to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality

Answer 1

"raise at least $140" tells you that, whatever the variables may be, the french club's profit needs to be 140 or more

they're selling pastries at $3.50 each, so we'll say that p is the number of pastries

140 >/= 3.50p

$140 must be greater than or equal to the profit from sold pastries

then just solve the inequality from there by isolating your variable:

140 >/= 3.50p

divide both sides by 3.50

40 >/= p

so they must sell at least 40 pastries to raise $140 dollars
