Question

Colin is playing a video game. He wins 25 points for each gold coins he finds. His goal is to win mora than 200 points. He wants to know how many gold coins he needs to find.Let g be the number of gold coins finds. Which inequality represent the situation?

Answer 1

g = number of gold coins finds

He wins 25 points for each gold coins he finds, so the number of points he wins is given by:

`25g`

His goal is to win mora than 200 points, therefore:

`\begin{gathered} 25g>200 \\ \text{ Since he wants to know how many gold coins he needs to find} \\ \text{let's solve for g:} \\ \text{divide both sides by 25} \\ g>(200)/(25) \\ g>8 \end{gathered}`

He needs to find more than 8 gold coins, 9 will be enough for example
