Question

Paisley needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 521 spoons. There are currently 225 spoons. If each set on sale contains 15 spoons, which inequality can be used to determine s, the minimum number of sets of spoons Paisley should buy? ○ 15s +225 521 15 +225s 2521 O 158 +225 2 521 O 15 +2258 ≤ 521 ​

Answer 1

15s + 225 is less than or equal to 521

Explanation:

The restaurant needs 521 spoons and it only has 225.

There is a very simple answer for this.

If each set on sale contains 15 spoons (algorithm rule)

So determine s (15 x s) = 15s (calculation principle)

then 15s + 225 is less than or equal to 521

therefore the result is 15s + 225 is less than or equal to 521 spoons
