Devin is collecting signatures for a petition to open a new park in her town. She needs to collect at least 1,000 signatures before she can schedule a meeting with the mayor. She already has 380 signatures. If each petition page holds 80 signatures, which inequality best shows how many more pages (p) Devin needs?

Question

Ok so $p$ represents $\bf pages$
"She needs to collect at least 1,000 signatures" 
it says $\bf at~ least$ meaning that it has to be ≥ 
so she has to have any number greater than or equal to 1,000 (amount of signatures)

So it says she already has 380 signatures 
so that means 1,000 – 380 would be how much she still needs left
but what we're trying to find is `what inequality best shows how many more pages` 
So you didn't provide the answer choices - which is ok

So back to this 
we're trying to find what inequality best shows how many more pages 
like I said before '"She needs to collect at least 1,000 signatures" 
it says $\bf at~ least$ meaning that it has to be ≥ '" 
So you have to subtract 380 from 1,000 
to get how much more she needs 
(Keep in mind that it says each page holds 80 signatures
Meaning that 80 signatures/page 
or 80 signatures per page (80:1) 
So when we subtract 380 from 1,000 
we get 620 
Meaning that we have to do 620÷8 ($\frac{620}{8}=\sf~amount~of~pages~needed)$
If you solve that, then you'll have the amount of pages needde

So then from there you can find the inequality
