Question

Sofia ordered sushi for a company meeting. They change plans and increase how many people will be at the meeting, so they need at least 100100100 pieces of sushi in total.
Sofia had already ordered and paid for 242424 pieces of sushi, so she needs to order additional sushi. The sushi comes in rolls, and each roll contains 121212 pieces and costs \$8$8dollar sign, 8.

Let RRR represent the number of additional rolls that Sofia orders.

Answer 1

Inequalities are used to represent unequal expressions.

The inequality is $24 + 8R \ge 100$

The given parameters are:

$Paid = 24$

$Rolls = 12$

$Cost = 8$ --- the unit cost per roll.

Assume the number of additional roll is R.

So, the total number of sushi is:

$Total=Paid + Cost \times R$

This gives

$Total=24 + 8\times R$

Multiply 8 and R

$Total=24 + 8R$

The sushi needed is at least 100.

This implies that:

$Total \ge 100$

So, we have:

$24 + 8R \ge 100$

Hence, the inequality is $24 + 8R \ge 100$
