Question

Please help?? I am trying to figure out this for almost half an hour.

The student council set a goal of raising at least $500 in flower sales. So far it has raised $415.
Part A- Write an inequality to show how many more dollars,d, the student council needs to reach its goal. (PLease EXplain how you got it.)
Part B- Graph the inequality on a number line.

Answer 1

So the goal is 500. And you only have 425. What you need is 500-425 then. So 500-425=x

Answer 2

Now since it's an inequality you need to decide do I need more or less than 75 dollars to achieve the goal. (500-425=75)

Answer 3

So which is it?

Answer 4

it is not 425 it is 415

Answer 5

you used 425

Answer 6

Okay sorry but you get the point.

Answer 7

So do you need more or less than 85 dollars?
