Sofia ordered sushi for a company meeting. They change plans and increase how many people will be at the meeting, so they need a
t least 100 pieces of sushi in total. Sofia had already ordered and paid for 48 pieces of sushi, so she needs to order additional sushi. The sushi comes in rolls, and each roll contains 12 pieces and costs $8. Let R represent the number of additional rolls that Sofia orders. Write an inequality and solve for R
he options are not given but I would list the inequalities needed to solve this problem.
As a result of increase in people to attend meeting, the number of sushi needed to be ordered is 100 pieces. Sofia has already ordered 24 pieces. If R is the number of additional rolls that Sofia orders.
The number of additional rolls that Sofia orders (R) must be greater than or equal to the difference between the number of Sushi needed to be ordered and the number of Sushi that has already being ordered. It is given by the inequality:
R ≥ 100 - 24
R ≥ 76
If each roll contains 12 pieces, the number of rolls needed (n) is given by:
n ≥ R/12
n ≥ 76/12
n ≥ 6.33
n ≥ 7
If each roll cost $8, the money needed to buy the sushi is given as:
"Agar agar" is a natural polysaccharide produced by marine algae and is the most commonly used solidifying agent added to media (end concentration usually 1.5 % w/v).
