Question

Every year a classroom of students holds a car wash to raise money to help fund a good cause in their community. This year the class wants to purchase Electric Blankets for their local Senior Citizens Center. Each blanket costs 52 dollars. Their teacher says every year the class raises between 2,000 and 2,500 dollars. Using that estimate, what inequality below BEST represents how many blankets (B) the class can expect to buy for the Center?

A) B>2000

B) 2000
C) B<2500

D) 38<=B<=48

Answer 1

Based on the given scenario above, since the students were able to raise between 2,000 dollars to 2,500 dollars and per blanket costs 52 dollars, this would mean that they can buy 38 to 48 blankets. In this case, the inequality that BEST represents how many blankets (B) the class can expect to buy for the Center would be this: 38<=B<=48. Answer is option D.
