Question

Dante buys candy that costs $7 per pound. He will spend at least $42 on candy. What are the possible numbers of pounds he will buy? Use p for the number of pounds Dante will buy. Write your answer as an inequality solved for p

Answer 1

p
`\geq` 6

Explanation:

If one pound costs $7 and he's going to spend at least $42, then he will buy at least as many pounds as what costs $42.

42 divided by 7 equals 6, so he will buy at least 6 pounds of candy.
