Question

Class T-shirts costs $8.50. Already, 112 have been sold. How many more T-shirts x must be sold to earn at least $1275? Write your answer as an inequality.

Answer 1

To earn at least $1275, $322.50 worth of T-shirts still need to be sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many more T-shirts need to be sold to earn at least $1275, we first need to calculate the total revenue from the already sold T-shirts. Since the cost of each T-shirt is $8.50 and 112 T-shirts have been sold, the total revenue is $8.50 * 112 = $952.50.

To find out how many more T-shirts need to be sold, we subtract the total revenue already earned from the target revenue: $1275 - $952.50 = $322.50.

Therefore, to earn at least $1275, $322.50 worth of T-shirts still need to be sold.
