Question

Jaxon must sell at least 49 rolls of wrapping paper to support the robotics club fundraiser. He has already sold 24 rolls of wrapping paper. Which inequality best represents the number of rolls of wrapping paper Jaxon still needs to sell?

A. x + 24 > 49

B. x + 24 ≤ 49

C. x + 24 < 49

D. x + 24 ≥ 49

Answer 1

D. x + 24 ≥ 49

Explanation:

He has already sold 24 rolls, and will sell more x.

So, the total number of rolls that he will sell is:

`T = 24 + x`

Jaxon must sell at least 49 rolls of wrapping paper to support the robotics club fundraiser.

This means that:

`T \geq 49`

`24 + x \geq 49`

The correct answer is given by option D.
