Question

Anna's goal is to raise more than $200 for a

charity. Three of her neighbors donated $15 each, and one of her
friends donated $5. Write an inequality to show how much more
money Anna needs to raise. Explain how you found the answer.
Tell why you chose the inequality symbol that you used.

Answer 1

225 dollars because you have to multiply 45 times 5

Answer 2

Answer: 200 < 50 + x

Explanation:

Since three of her neighbors donated 15 dollars each, we can find how much she earned from them by doing 3 x 15 = 45.

Including the 5 dollars earned by her friend, we get 50 dollars by doing 45+5 = 50.

Anna needs more than 200 dollars so 200 has to be less than Anna's total earnings. (x) is how much more Anna will need to earn to make the inequality true.
