Question

Your baseball team is selling bags of popcorn to raise money for a trip. For each bag of popcorn you sell, $4 goes towards your trip. You hope to earn at least $140 for the trip. Write and solve an inequality that represents the numbers $x$ of bags of popcorn you must sell to reach your goal.

Answer 1

4x
`\geq` 140; You need to sell at least 35 bags

Explanation:

Every 1 bag of popcorn is sold, $4 is put into the trip.

4x

You hope to earn at least $140.

4x ≥ 140

Divide by 4 on both sides.

x ≥ 35

You need to sell 35 bags or more to get $140.

Your welcome!
