Step-by-step explanation: Ben sells handmade cards at a craft fair. He wants to earn more than $50 at the fair. He sells his cards for $2 and has already earned $36. How many cards does he need to sell to reach his goal? Explain why Ben would not meet his goal if he sold 7 cards. How could his goal be rephrased to include 7 cards?
Because when Ben sells 7 cards, he will have $14 and with $36 he has already earn, he just has $50 in total, not more than that.
If he wants to earn more than $50, he needs to sell 8 cards at least. (stolen answer)
