Question

How do you set up this problem? Your class sells boxes of oranges to raise $500 for a field trip. You earn $6.25 for each box of oranges sold. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of boxes your class must sell to meet or exceed the fundraising goal.

Answer 1

You would divide the about of money you made by the amount each box costs.

$500÷6.25=80

80 boxes were sold
