Step-by-step explanation:

Students in the school band are selling calendars. They earn $0.40 on each calendar they sell. Their goal is to earn more than $327. Write and solve an inequality to find the fewest number of calendars they can sell and still reach each goal.

0.4c > 327

divide both sides by 0.4:

0.4c/0.4 > 327/0.4

c > 817.5

because you cannot sell a half calendar the answer is rounded up to 818.
