Question

Games at the carnival cost $3 each. The prizes awarded to winners cost $145. How many games must be played to make at least $50? Write an inequality that can be used to find the number of games played to make at least $50.

Answer 1

3p - 145w ≥ 50

w = number of winners

p = number of plays of carnival game

Profits = 3p - 145w

3p - 145w ≥ 50
