Sherri’s bakery has sold 75 bagels. She needs to sell at least 450 bagels to make a profit for the day. What is the solution of an inequality showing the number of bagels (b) that she still needs to sell? Include the appropriate inequality symbol in your response.
The inequality showing the number of bagels (b) that Sherri still needs to sell is:
b > 450 - 75
Simplifying:
b > 375
The appropriate inequality symbol is "greater than," as she needs to sell more than 375 bagels to reach her target profit.
