True
or
False

Answer 1

$75= Cassidy's goal
c= number of cupcakes
a= $6 already raised

EQUATION:
75<$3c + a
substitute $6 in for a

75< $3c + 6
subtract 6 from both sides

69<3c
divide both sides by 3

23<c

Cassidy needs to sell at least 23 cupcakes to reach her goal of $75.


Answer:

FALSE: Cassidy will need to sell any number of cupcakes greater than 12 to reach her goal.

TRUE: Cassidy will need to sell any number of cupcakes greater than 23 to reach her goal.


Hope this helps! :)
