Question

You are selling candy bars for a fundraiser. you want to sell at least $200. If snickers cost $2 per bar and M&M's cost $3 per bag, then write an inequality that represents all the possible combinations you can sell to meet your goal.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Goal = > $2500

Amount raised = $700

Amount needed to raise = $2500 - 700 = $1800

Number of candy bars needed = x

Price of a candy bar = $1.50

1.5x > 1800

x > 1800 ÷ 1.5

x > 1200

Answer: They need to sell more than 1200 candy bars.
