Question

4

Jinny is selling bracelets for $1.50. So far, she has earned $117.00. She needs to earn more than $132.00 in order to meet her goal.

How many more bracelets, x, does she need to sell in order to reach her goal? Select the inequality that includes the fewest number of bracelets that she can sell and still reach her goal.
A.
x > 166
B.
x > 88
C.
x > 78
D.
x > 10

Answer 1

You would subtract 132.00 by 117.00 and you would get 15 then you would divide by 1.50 and you would get 10 so the answer is D

Answer 2

X > 10

Explanation

The question says more than 132. So lets say Jinny has to earn $135 to meet her target.

132 - 117 = 18. She needs to earn 18 more dollars

18/ 1.50 = 12. She needs to sell 12 more to make 18 dollars

X > 10 says she needs to sell more than 10. Which is true
