Question

Ian needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where he works. The

restaurant needs at least 593 spoons. There are currently 161 spoons. If each set on
sale contains 6 spoons, write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine
X, the number of sets of spoons Ian could buy for the restaurant to have enough
spoons

Answer 1

72 sets

593 -161=432 spoons needed

432/6 =72 sets

(Harder way)

6= 1

432 =x

432 = 6x

x=72

Answer 2

Inequality: 6x + 161 ≥ 593

Answer: x ≥ 72
