The band teacher promises his class a pizza party if, during the fall fundraiser, they exceed the fundraising goal of $3,300. The students make $1 for each candy bar sold and $4 for each box of cookies.
Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.
x = the number of candy bars
y = the number of boxes of cookies
The total amount of money made from selling candy bars is given by x, and the total amount of money made from selling boxes of cookies is given by y. The total amount of money made can be found by multiplying the number of candy bars sold by 1 and the number of boxes of cookies sold by 4, and this total amount of money should exceed the fundraising goal of $3,300. Therefore, the inequality in standard form that describes this situation is:
1x + 4y > 3300
