Tony’s class needs more than $500 for the school dance. So far, they have raised $200. They plan to have a car wash, charging $8
a car, to raise more money. Tony solved the inequality 8x + 200 Greater-than-or-equal-to 500, and determined that if they wash 37 cars, they will have enough money. Is he correct? Explain
No, because if they washed 37 cars the equation would be 8•37+200. This equation equals 496. So they would only have 496 dollars therefore they would have to wash at least one more car.
