Question

On Saturday, the fruit and juice bar was selling 22 glasses of fruit punch an hour. By 4 p.m., they had sold 132 glasses. If their goal was to sell more than 264 glasses of fruit punch, which inequality can be used to find h, the number of hours they must stay open to make their goal?

A. 132 + 22h > 264
B. 22h < 264 + 132
C. 132 + 22h < 264
D. 132 + 264 > 22h

Answer 1

A. 132 + 22h > 264

Explanation:

Hourly sales = 22 glasses of fruit punch

Sales by 4 p.m = 132 glasses

Goal = more than 264 glasses

h = number of hours they must stay open to make their goal

The inequality:

132 + 22h > 264

22h > 264 - 132

22h > 132

h > 132/22

h > 6 hours

This means, the number of hours they must stay open to make their goal of more than 264 glasses is more than 6 hours
