Question

The French Club is sponsoring a bake sale. If their goal is to raise at least $140, how many pastries must they sell at $3.50 each in order to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality.

Answer 1

140 divided by 3.50

Answer 2

140/3.50 = 40 pastried

Answer 3

pastries*

Answer 4

Since they want to make at least $140, that amount is the minimum and any amount greater than $140 is also an acceptable profit. So, the sign of the inequality will be a greater than or equal to sign. The inequality set-up will be:
140>==3.50x
Where x represents the number of pastries that need to be sold.
To solve this we simply need to divide both sides by $3.50 to get x by itself.
When we do this we find that in order to make $140, the french club must sell at least 40 pastries.
