India wants to make $97 selling plates of food. She sells each plate and 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 at least how many plates India would have to sell to reach her goal, we need to solve the inequality 8x - 7 > 97 for x (number of plates).
8x - 7 > 97
Add 7 to both sides:
8x > 104
Divide by 8 on both sides:
x > 13
India would have to sell at least 14 plates to reach her goal of making $97.
