Question

In two weeks, your class collected more than 380 cans of food for the annual food drive. In the first week, 145 cans were collected. How many cans c of food were collected in the second week? Write and solve an inequality.

Answer 1

145 + c   = 380

145 - 145 + c = 380 - 145              -Subtract 145 from both sides of the equation

c = 235

So, they collected 235 cans in the second week.

Hope this helps!
