Question

Tony's class needs more than $500 for the school dance.

So far, they have raised $200. They plan to have a car
wash, charging $8 a car, to raise more money. Tony
solved the inequality 8x + 200 > 500, and determined
that if they wash 37 cars, they will have enough money.
Is he correct? Explain.
(Please reply with sample answer if there is one!!)

Answer 1

No, Tony is not correct. Solving the inequality tells us that x is greater than or equal to 37.5 Since the class must wash a whole number of cars, they need to wash at least 38 cars.
