Question

Felipe buys candy that costs $7 per pound. He will spend at least $56 on candy. What are the possible numbers of pounds he will buy?

Answer 1

x ≥ 8

Explanation:

Let x be the number of pounds he buys. As each pound costs 7 dollars and he must spend at least 56 dollars, we have:

7x ≥ 56

x ≥ 8 (divide each side by 7)

Thus, our answer is any number above 8.
