♡ The Step-By-Step Process! ♡

✦ || Sofia needs the sushi she's already ordered plus the additional sushi to be at least 100 pieces. We can represent this with an inequality whose structure looks something like this:

(sushi already ordered) + (additional sushi) [≤ or ≥] 100

Then, we can solve the inequality for R to find how many additional rolls Sofia needs to order. Sofia has already ordered and paid for 24 pieces. Each roll has 12 pieces, and R represents the number of additional rolls, so the number of additional pieces from these rolls is 12R. The number of pieces she's already ordered plus the additional pieces needs to be greater than or equal to 100 pieces. Since she can't order partial rolls, Sofia needs to reserve 7 additional rolls. And each roll costs $8, so ordering 7 additional rolls costs 7 ⋅ $8 = $56.

Answer 2

Sofia will order 7 more rolls of sushi (84 pieces) and pay $56

Explanation:

They need at least 100 pieces of sushi

Sofia had ordered and paid for 24 pieces of sushi already

Sushi comes in rolls

Each roll=12 pieces at $8

R=additional rolls that Sofia orders

Additional sushi= Needed sushi - ordered sushi

=100-24

=76 pieces of sushi

Each roll has 12 pieces

76/12=6.33

Sofia has to order in rolls

So, she will order 7 more rolls of sushi of 12 pieces each

12*7=84 pieces

Recall, that they needed at least 100 pieces, so the number of pieces could be more than 100

If Sofia orders 84 pieces + the already ordered 24 pieces

Total pieces=108 pieces

She has paid for 24 pieces (3 rolls) at $8 per roll

7 rolls=$8*7

=$56
