Question

Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 200020002000 cans for recycling. Abha collected 178178178 more cans than Shane did. Write an inequality to determine the number of cans, SSS, that Shane could have collected. What is the solution set of the inequality?

Answer 1

Shane must have collected At least 911 cans...

Explanation:

Answer 2

Shane must have collected At least 911 cans.

Explanation:

Number of cans collected by Shane = S

Abha collected more cans than Shane = S+178

Both Shane and Abha have to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling.

Writing the statement in terms of inequality:

S+S+178≥ 2000

2S+178≥2000

2S≥2000-178

2S≥ 1822

S≥1822/2

S≥911

Shane must have collected At least 911 cans...
