At a sports event, 1, 045 spectators will be

transported to a stadium in buses. Each bus
holds up to 85 spectators. Which inequality best describes n, the number of buses that are needed to transport spectators?​

85n >/= 1,045

85 people times n buses has to equal or exceed 1,045 people

85n is greater than or equal to 1,045

85n >/= 1, 045

n >/= 12.29

So, since n has to be greater than or equal to 12.29, and there is no 29/100ths of a bus, they would need 13 buses (in case there's a follow-up question)
