Question

Eva needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The

restaurant needs at least 749 forks. There are currently 173 forks. If each set on sale
contains 18 forks, use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing
s, the number of sets of forks Eva should buy.

Answer 1

s≥32

Explanation:

Subtract 173 from 749: 576

since each set has 18 forks, divide 576 by 18: 32

since the restaurant needs at LEAST 32 more sets, s has to be greater or equal to 32
