Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

3 infected           x infected

------------------ = ----------------

50 sampled     6750 population

Using cross products

3*6750 = 50x

Divide each side by 50

3*6750/50 = x

405

x ----> the number of boxes of cookies sold

y ----> the number of boxes of candies sold

we know that

The word "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

The solution is the shaded area above the solid line   5.25x+8.75y=200

using a graphing tool

The solution is the shaded area -----> see the attached figure

Find out the minimum boxes of cookies needed to sell to reach the goal

assuming only cookies are sold

For y=0

5.25x+8.75(0)\geq 200

5.25x\geq 200

solve for x

x\geq 38.1

Round up

therefore
