The Spanish Club is selling churros as a fundraiser. If its
goal is to raise at least $150, how many churros must it
sell at $1.25 each to meet that goal? Write and solve an
inequality.
Let's say the Spanish Club must sell x churros to meet its goal.
The amount of money raised by selling x churros at $1.25 each is 1.25x.
We can now write the inequality: 1.25x >= 150
We can solve this inequality by dividing both sides by 1.25: x >= 150 / 1.25
Simplifying the right side: x >= 120
So, the Spanish Club must sell at least 120 churros to meet its goal.
what is the inequality?
The inequality is 1.25x >= 150.
To find out how many churros the Spanish Club needs to sell, we can set up an inequality.
Let x be the number of churros they need to sell.
Since each churro is being sold for $1.25, the total amount raised from selling x churros would be 1.25 * x.
According to the problem, the goal is to raise at least $150. Therefore, we can write the inequality:
1.25x ≥ 150
Now, we can solve this inequality to find the minimum number of churros, x.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 1.25:
x ≥ 150 / 1.25
x ≥ 120
So, the Spanish Club needs to sell at least 120 churros to meet the goal of raising at least $150.
