Answer 1

The correct inequality is 1.25c ≥ 150, where c represents the number of churros sold.

To solve the inequality for c, we divide both sides by 1.25:

c ≥ 150/1.25
c ≥ 120

Therefore, the Spanish Club must sell at least 120 churros to meet their fundraising goal.

Answer 2

The correct inequality for this problem is: 1.25c ≥ 150, where c represents the number of churros sold. To solve for c, we divide both sides of the inequality by 1.25: c ≥ 150/1.25. Simplifying this, we get c ≥ 120. Therefore, the Spanish Club must sell at least 120 churros to meet their fundraising goal of $150.

Answer 3

To solve this problem, we can set up an inequality. Let's represent the number of churros the Spanish Club needs to sell as c. Since each churro is being sold for $1.25, the total amount of money raised can be calculated by multiplying the number of churros sold by $1.25.

So, the inequality can be written as:

1.25c ≥ 150

This inequality says that the total amount of money raised (1.25c) must be greater than or equal to $150.

To solve for c, we need to isolate it on one side of the inequality. We can do this by dividing both sides of the inequality by 1.25:

(1.25c)/1.25 ≥ 150/1.25

Simplifying, we get:

c ≥ 120

This means that the Spanish Club must sell at least 120 churros to meet their goal of raising at least $150.
