Question

The school band is going to buy candy bars for $430 and sell them at school for $1.50 each. The band has to raise $1,350 to help pay for a trip. Write and inequality that represents how many candy bars x the band has to sell to make enough money for the trip.

Answer 1

x = 900 or 1.50 * x = 1,350 (Though I advise you to use x = 900)

Explanation:

Divide 1,350 by 1.50 to see that they need to sell exactly 900 bars. We can fact check by using a calculator to do the equation 1.50 * 900 = 1,350.
