Question

Sofia ordered sushi for a company meeting. They change plans and increase how many people

will be at the meeting, so they need at least 100 pieces of sushi in total.
Sofia had already ordered and paid for 24 pieces of sushi, so she needs to order additional sushi.
The sushi comes in rolls, and each roll contains 12 pieces and costs $8.
Let R represent the number of additional rolls that Sofia orders.
1) Which inequality describes this scenario?
Choose 1 answer:
B
12 + 24R ≤ 100
12+24R 100
24+12R 100
24+12R 100

Answer 1

• 24 + 12R ≥ 100

Explanation:

List the conditions as per question:

• Number of pieces of sushi ordered = 24,
• Number of pieces required in total at least 100,
• Number of rolls to be ordered = R,
• Each roll contains = 12 pieces.

Inequality to represent the total number of pieces of sushi is:

• 24 pieces and R rolls of 12 pieces to get at least 100 pieces, or

• 24 + 12R ≥ 100
