Question

The 60 members of a school’s glee club need to raise at least $5,000 for a trip to a national competition. The school agreed to contribute $1,000 toward the trip. Which inequality below shows the amount of money that each glee club member needs to raise for the trip?

Answer 1

Since the club needs to raise $ 5, 000

And the school agrees to contribute $1000

Then if the least amount each of the 60 members of the club is represented by x

then

`1000\text{ + 60x }\leq\text{ 5000}`
