Question

Becky is collecting money for a fundraiser. She wants to collect more than $1,663.00 and has already raised $299.00. Becky averages $26.00 from each person who donates to the fundraiser. Which of the following inequalities could be used to solve for x, the number of additional people Becky needs to collect from to meet her fundraising goal?

A. $26.00x > $299.00

B. $26.00x > $1,663.00

C. $26.00x + $299.00 > $1,663.00

D. $26.00x - $299.00 > $1,663.00

Answer 1

C. $26x + $299 > $1663.00

Step-by-step explanation:

$1663 - $299 = $1364

$1364 ÷ $26 = 52. 46....

Which would be round to 53 people

So

$26(53) + $299 > $1663

$1378 + $299 > $1663

$1677 > $ 1663
