The French Club is sponsoring a bake sale. If their goal is to raise at least $140.00, how many pastries must they sell at $3.50 each to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality.

3.50p ≥ 140; p ≥ 490
140p ≥ 3.50; p ≥ 40
3.50p ≥ 140; p ≥ 136.5
3.50p ≥ 140; p ≥ 40

Given:
raise at least $140
cost of each pastry = $3.50
p = number of pastries sold

3.50p > 140 This is the inequality.

3.50p > 140
÷3.50 ÷3.50
p > 40


3.50p ≥ 140; p ≥ 40

The should sell at least 40 pastries to raise at least 140.
