Can someone check these inequality word problems to see if I did them right? Correct me if I'm wrong!
Write a linear inequality using word problems.
1. A sculptor is selling his work at an exhibit to earn at least $25,600 in revenue. Small pieces go for $1600 and large pieces go for $351. I got 351x+1600y>_ 25,600 (inequality sign is a carrot with line underneath)
Yes
To find the correct inequality, we need to consider the given information and the variables involved. Let's break down the given information and determine the correct inequality based on it.
1. A sculptor is selling his work at an exhibit to earn at least $25,600 in revenue. Small pieces go for $1,600, and large pieces go for $351.
Let's assume that x represents the number of small pieces sold and y represents the number of large pieces sold.
To find the total revenue, we need to multiply the quantity of small pieces by $1,600 and the quantity of large pieces by $351. To ensure that the revenue is at least $25,600, we can set up the following inequality:
1600x + 351y ≥ 25,600
So, the correct inequality is 1600x + 351y ≥ 25600.
