Question

Luella owns two tire stores. The first store sells between 100 and 200 tires on

Friday. The other store sells between 200 and 250 tires on Friday.
If a represents the number of tires sold, what inequality would represent the
possible range of the total number of tires sold at both stores on Friday?
A/ tires < x <
A tires

Answer 1

Answer: 300 tires < x < 450 tires

Explanation:

The first store sells between 100-200 tires. This means that the number it sells is greater than 100, but less than 200. This can be represented in this inequality:

100 < x < 200

The second store sells between 200-250 tires. This means that the number it sells is greater than 200, but less than 250. This can be represented in this inequality:

200 < x < 250

The total number of tires sold can be found by adding these two inequalities:

100 < x < 200

200 < x < 250

The following inequality represents the total amount of tires sold:

300 < x < 450
