Question

Which inequality expresses the solution of the following problem? The Longton cheerleaders are trying to raise at least $3000 on their candy sale. If each box of candy sells for $7.50, how many boxes must they sell to reach their goal?

Answer 1

let x equal represent number of candy
so we want 7.5x to be at least 3000
that means we want
7.5x≥3000
all you have to do is divide by 7.5 on both sides

Answer 2

7.50x =>3000 (equal or greater than)
