Question

Devin is collecting signatures for a petition to open a new park in her town. She needs to collect at least 1,000 signatures before she can schedule a meeting with the mayor. She already has 380 signatures. If each petition page holds 80 signatures, which inequality best shows how many more pages (p) Devin needs?

7 ≤ p
8 ≤ p
8 < p
9 < p

Answer 1

the answer is A)7 ≤ p

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct opion is;

7 ≤ p

Explanation:

The number of signatures Devin needs to collect = 1,000 signatures

The numer of signatures Devin has already = 380 signatures

The number ofsignatures each petition page can hold = 80 signatures

Therefore;

The number of extra signatures required = 1,000 - 380 = 680 signatures

The number of petition pages required = 1,000 petitions /(80 signatures/page) = 12.5 pages

The number of pages already filled = 380 petitions /(80 signatures/page) = 4.75 pages

The number of pages remaining, p = 12.5 - 4.75 = 7.75 pages

Therefore, 7 ≤ p.
