Savannah needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The

Answer 1

Answer:

$s\geq 36$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1, how many knives to buy?

The restaurant already has 262 knives. We can subtract this number from their needed 694 knives to find how many they still need:

$694-262=432$ knives.

Step 2, how many sets of knives?

The restaurant needs to buy 432 knives. We know the knives come in sets of 12, so we can divide to find the # of packs she needs to buy, determined by variable s.

Notice how the restaurant needs to buy a minimum of 694 knives, hence we use a greater or equal than symbol:

$\fbox{\frac{432}{12} \geq s}$$s\geq \frac{432}{12}$

$s\geq 36$
