Answer:

325 + 8s ≥ 378

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sets of spoons be represented by s

The restaurant needs at least 378 spoons.

Each set on sale contains 8 spoons

There are currently 325 spoons.

At least as an inequality is ≥

Hence:

325 +8 × s ≥ 378

325 + 8s ≥ 378

Therefore, inequality tha can be used to determine s the minimum number of sets of spoons Joshua should buy is

325 + 8s ≥ 378
