Question

the Spanish club is selling churros as a fundraiser. If its goal is to raise at least $150, how many churros must it sell at $1.25 each to meet that goal? write and solve an inequality.

Answer 1

Let the number of churros sold be x, then
1.25x ≥ 150
x ≥ 150/1.25
x ≥ 120

Answer 2

Let

x-------> the number of churros sold

we know that

`1.25x \geq 150` -----> inequality that represent the situation

Solve for x

Divide by
`1.25` both sides

`x \geq 150/1.25`

`x \geq 120\ churros`

therefore

the answer is

The minimum number of churros that must be sold is
`120`
