India wants to make $97 selling plates of food. She sells each plate and a drink for $8. If she paid $7 for the drinks, use the inequality 8x−7≥97 to find at least how many plates she would have to sell to reach her goal.
To find how many plates she would have to sell, we need to solve the inequality 8x - 7 ≥ 97.
Adding 7 to both sides of the inequality, we get:
8x ≥ 104
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
x ≥ 13
Therefore, India would have to sell at least 13 plates to reach her goal.
