Final answer:

To determine how many bullseyes Dushaun needs to hit in the second round to achieve a score over 100, an inequality based on his current score and the points per bullseye would be used. Without actual numbers, a specific minimum cannot be provided, but the calculation involves subtracting the current score from 100 and dividing by the points per bullseye.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about an inequality problem related to scoring over 100 points by hitting the bullseye in a game of archery. To solve this, we need to know the number of points Dushaun already has and the number of points a single bullseye is worth. If, for example, Dushaun has a score of x after round 1 and each bullseye is worth y points, the inequality to find out how many bullseyes he needs to hit in round 2 could be written as:

  • Current score + (Number of bullseyes × Points per bullseye) > 100
  • x + (b × y) > 100

Where b is the number of bullseyes he needs to hit. To resolve the inequality, we would isolate b:

  • b > (100 - x) / y

Without specific values for x and y, we cannot provide a numerical answer, but this is the method Dushaun would use to determine the minimum number of bullseyes required to achieve a score over 100 points in the second round.
