Question

Ms. Gallegos is going to buy a jumbo bag of candy to split among her 30 students. She wants there to be at least 5 pieces per students. Write an inequality represents all possible values for t, the total amount of candy she must buy? Solve for t. Would buying a bag with 110 pieces be enough?

Answer 1

Answer:

number of candies = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students, N = 30

Number of candies per student = 5

Let the total number of candies is t.

So, according to the question,

$t\leq 30\times 5$

So,

$t\leq 150$

The minimum number of candies required is 150.

If the number of candies bought is 110, so they are not sufficient.
