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? Write and solve an inequality
3.50p ≥ 140: p ≥ 490
140p ≥3.50; p≥ 40*****
3.50p ≥ 140; p≥136.5
3.50p≥ 140; p ≥ 40
Thank you
Hi if it's not a possible answer for it to be b them it shall be d cause you can disqualify a and c because they have numbers that aren't even needed in this question
To solve the problem and write the inequality, you need to set up an equation based on the given information. Let's assume the number of pastries the French club needs to sell is "p," and each pastry costs $3.50.
The total amount the French club aims to raise is at least $140. So, we can set up the inequality as follows:
3.50p ≥ 140
To solve the inequality, divide both sides of the inequality by 3.50 to isolate the variable "p":
p ≥ 140 / 3.50
Simplifying the right side:
p ≥ 40
The solution to the inequality is p ≥ 40, which means the French club needs to sell at least 40 pastries at $3.50 each to meet its fundraising goal of at least $140.
