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?

Answer 1

Answer:12

Explanation:

Answer 2

7 ≤ p

8 ≤ p

8 < p

9 < p

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the following :

Number of signatures required = at least 1000 ( ≥ 1000)

Number of signatures already obtained = 380

Given that a petition page holds 80 signatures

How many more pages does Devin need

Number of signatures left = ≥ 1000 - 380 = ≥ 620 more signatures

Let the number of pages required = p

With 380 signatures,

380 / 80 = 5 pages (20 more signatures to complete the 5 th page)

Number of signatures left = 620

(620 - 20) = 600

= 600/ 80

= 7.5 pages to the nearest whole number = 8 pages

The most appropriate option is 8 less than or equal to the number of pages needed .

8 ≤ p
