The chess club plans to sell water bottles to raise $425. They have

$175 already. If they sell water bottles for $8 each, at least how many
bottles do they need to sell in order to raise enough money?
8n + 175 ≥ $425

8n ≥425-175
8n ≥250
n ≥250/8
n ≥31.25
They would need to sell at least 32 bottles to raise more or equal to $425.
32•8=256
256+175=$431
431 ≥425
