Question

The ADMHS football team is trying to raise money to buy new equipment so the players are selling "Jaguar Cards" for $20 each. If the football team needs to raise at least $3,000 for equipment, write an inequality to represent the situation and find the least number of "Jaguar Cards" the team must sell.

Answer 1

Answer:

The inequality to represent the situation is $20x\geq 3000$ and the team must sell at least $15$ "Jaguar Cards".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ADMHS football team is trying to raise money to buy new equipment so the players are selling "Jaguar Cards" for $\ 20$ each.

If the football team needs to raise at least $\ 3,000$ for equipment.

To find: The inequality to represent the situation and the least number of "Jaguar Cards" the team must sell.

Solution:

Let the ADMHS football team sold $x$ "Jaguar Cards" for $\ 20$ each.

Now, the football team needs to raise at least $\ 3,000$ for equipment.

So, the inequality to represent the situation is $20x\geq 3000$.

Now, on solving we get,

$20x\geq 3000$

$\implies x\geq \frac{300}{20}$

$\implies x\geq 15$

Hence, the inequality to represent the situation is $20x\geq 3000$ and the team must sell at least $15$ "Jaguar Cards".
