Question

Tasha sells gift boxes and cookies at her bakery. Gift boxes sell for $26.00 each. Cookies sell for $1.50 each. Tasha would like her total sales to be at least 50.00 from the sale of one gift box and some cookies. Which inequality describes the number of cookies (x) that Tasha needs to sell?

Question options:

x ≥ 2

x ≥ 8

x ≥ 16

x ≥ 24

Answer 1

hi there hope it helps

1 gift box=26 dollar

1 cookie=1.50 dollar
Total amount of money=50 dollar

first she needs to buy a new gift box that is 50-26=24 dollar

then from 24 dollars she needs to buy cookies
you know that

1 cookie = 1.50 dollar
24/1.50=16x ≥ 16
