Answer:

45 or more

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the amount of pastries they sell, we need to multiply it by $3.00 to know how much they raise. Total earnings: $3.00x

They need to raise at least $135, that is $135 or more.

So, $3.00x has to be greater than $135 or equal.

Written as an inequality is:

$3.00x $\geq$ $135

We divide both sides by $3.00 and we have:

x $\geq$ $135/$3.00 = 45

Therefore, they need to sell 45 or more pastries to meet the goal.
