Question

Mr. Hermans's class is selling candy for a school fundraiser. their goal is to raise $500 by selling C boxes of candy. for every box of candy they sell, they earn $2.75. Write and equation that the students could solve to figure out how many boxes they need to sell. Please answer quickly.

Answer 1

2.75c ≥ 500

c ≥ 500 / 2.75

c ≥ 181.82

it should be greater than 181.82 to reach and get the target

So c should be like 182, 183, 184, and above
