HELP QUICK!!

A clothing store has sold $300 in shirts and plans to sell enough jeans to exceed its goal
of $500. Each pair of jeans costs $40.

Write and solve a linear inequality to find how many pairs of jeans, i, the clothing store
employees must sell.

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

The clothing store already sold $300 .

They need to sell x jeans to get to $500.

$500 - $300

$200

They’re $200 short of their goal.

A pair of jeans cost $40

Therefore x40 = $200

x = 200/40

x = 5

So ,they need to sell 5 pairs of jeans to hit their $500 target
