Question

The football team needs to raise at least $7,000 for new football uniforms. An anonymous donor gave the team $1,250 toward their goal. Each player is also able to raise $100 by selling candy. Write an inequality to show how many players need to raise $100 to meet their goal.

Answer 1

Answer: There are 58 players to raise $100 to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount to raise = $7000

Amount given the team by the donor = $1250

Amount each player is able to raise = $100

Let the number of player be 'x'.

According to question, we get that

$1250+100x\geq 7000$

So, the required number of players would be :

$100x\geq 7000-1250\\\\100x\geq 5750\\\\x\geq \dfrac{5750}{100}\\\\x\geq 57.5$

Hence, there are 58 players to raise $100 to meet their goal.
