The answer to this inequality would be -9
Let's start by calculating how many students does 24% represent.
24% * 24 = 0.24 * 24 = 5.76
We got a decimal number as solution. The reason why exactly 24% students can't be in the play is because this percentage does not represent whole number of students. She can't take 0.76 students
If she wanted 25% students to be in a play it would mean she has to take:
25% * 24 = 0.25 *24 = 6 students
4inches = 1/3 of a foot (4inches x 3 = 12 inches) - so she can cut 3 out of each foot
1 yard = 3 feet - so she can cut 3 x 3 = 9 out of each yard
18 x 9 = 162 pieces
Add 23 from both sides
6f = 18
F= 3
6(3)-23
= 18-23
=-5
