Answer:
The inequality tha can be used to find how many more bags of popcorn Jeff still needs to sell today to make a profit is
x - 12 ≥ 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent the number of bags of popcorn as p
Jeff sells popcorn for $3 per bag. To make a profit each day, he needs to sell at least $120 worth of popcorn.
We have the equation:
$3 × p ≥ $120
3p ≥ $120
p ≥ 120/3
p ≥ 40 bags
He must sell at least 40 bags to make a profit
He has sold $36 worth of popcorn today.
1 bag is $3
Hence, he has sold
$36/$3 = 12 bags of popcorn
Which inequality can be used to find Jeff still needs to sell today to make a profit?
This equality is given as:
x - 12 bags ≥ 40 bags
x - 12 ≥ 40
x ≥40 - 12
x ≥ 28 bags
She still need to sell 28 more bags of popcorn.
