How do you set up this problem? Your class sells boxes of oranges to raise $500 for a field trip. You earn $6.25 for each box of oranges sold. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of boxes your class must sell to meet or exceed the fundraising goal.

You would divide the about of money you made by the amount each box costs.

$500÷6.25=80

80 boxes were sold
