Question

Your class collected more than 410 cans of food for the annual food drive. in the first week, 185 cans were collected. how many cans c of food were collected in the second week? write and solve an inequality.

Answer 1

Given that the class collected more than 410 cans, let the number of cans collected in the second week be c, and given that 185 cans were not collected in the first week, then the inequality representing the number of cans collected in the first week is given by:

c > 410 - 185

c > 225
