There are 60 members in the school glee club. The glee club needs to raise at least $5000 for a school trip to a national compet
ition. The school agreed to contribute $1000 toward the trip. Which of the inequalities below shows the amount of money that each glee club member needs to raise to help pay for the trip? A: 60x + 1000 ≥ 5000
B: 60x + 5000 ≥ 1000
C: 1000x 60 ≥ 5000
Explanation: The school needs AT LEAST $5000 dollars. The only answers that say at least $5000 is A. and C. Then the school gave them 1000. So the answer would state that 60 students times the amount of money needed to be raised plus the additional money the school gave them is greater than 5000.
A. is saying that 60 students times X, which equals how much money each member has to raise. Plus 1000, which is how much the school gave them. Is greater than 5000 which is at least how much the need to raise.
