Zoey needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 711 glasses. There are currently 281 glasses. If each set on sale contains 10 glasses, use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing s, the number of sets of glasses Zoey

ANSWER-

s >= 72.1

The inequality represents the minimum number of sets of glasses Zoey needs to order to meet the restaurant's requirement of at least 711 glasses. The calculation is as follows:
711 glasses - 281 glasses = 430 glasses needed
430 glasses / 10 glasses per set = 43 sets needed
So, the minimum number of sets Zoey needs to order is 43 sets, which can be rounded up to the nearest whole number, which is 44 sets.
Therefore, s >= 44 sets.

Zoey needs to order 711 - 281 = 430 glasses.
So the number of sets of glasses she needs to order can be represented by the inequality:

s >= 430/10 = 43

This means that Zoey needs to order at least 43 sets of glasses to meet the minimum requirement.
