A football team wants to by a football. The football costs $51. There are 11 members of the team. How much will each of the team members contribute to be able to purchase the football if they had $29 already.
Solution: Let the amount each team member contributes be x, then
11x + 29 ≥ 51
11x ≥ 51 - 29
11x ≥ 22
x ≥ 22/11
x ≥ 2
I.e. each team member must contribute at least $2 for them to be able to buy the football.
5 and 2/7 would be closer to the whole number 5 than 6
Your answer would be 5
