The french club is sponsoring a bake sale. IF its goal is to raise at least $140m how many pastries mut it sell at $3.50 each to meet that goal? Writ and solve an inequality
3.50p>=140;p<=40
Fr doe
no its a typo
3.50 n >= 140.00
3.50p " greater than or equal to"140; p ''greater than or equal '' 40
3.50 > 140; p >40
To solve this problem, we can set up an inequality. Let's let "x" represent the number of pastries the French club needs to sell. Since each pastry is sold at $3.50, the total amount raised from selling "x" pastries can be calculated by multiplying the price per pastry by the number of pastries: $3.50 * x.
To meet the goal of raising at least $140m, we can set up the following inequality:
3.50x ≥ 140
Here, the left side of the inequality represents the total amount of money raised from selling "x" pastries, and the right side represents the goal of raising at least $140m.
To solve this inequality, divide both sides by 3.50:
x ≥ 140 / 3.50
Simplifying, we have:
x ≥ 40
Therefore, the French club must sell at least 40 pastries priced at $3.50 each in order to meet their goal of raising at least $140m.
