The junior class is selling donuts for a fundraiser. The students are selling the donuts by the dozen. If they want to sell one dozen for $12, write an inequality to find how many dozen donuts they need to sell to make at least $1,000 and find the solution?
Let x be the number of dozen donuts they need to sell.
The inequality to represent the situation is 12x >= 1000.
To solve for x, divide both sides of the inequality by 12: x >= 1000/12.
Simplifying the right side, x >= 83.33333.
Therefore, they need to sell at least 84 dozen donuts to make at least $1,000.
To find the number of dozen donuts they need to sell to make at least $1,000, we can set up an inequality.
Let's represent the number of dozen donuts they need to sell as "x".
Since each dozen is sold for $12, the total amount made from selling "x" dozen donuts will be 12x dollars.
The inequality can be written as:
12x ≥ 1000
To find the solution, we'll solve the inequality for "x".
To write an inequality that represents how many dozen donuts the junior class needs to sell to make at least $1,000, we first need to determine the cost per dozen donuts. The given information states that one dozen is being sold for $12.
Let's represent the number of dozen donuts they need to sell as "x". Since they want to make at least $1,000, the inequality can be expressed as:
12x ≥ 1000
To find the solution, we can solve this inequality by dividing both sides by 12:
x ≥ 1000/12
Simplifying:
x ≥ 83.3333
Since they cannot sell a fraction of a dozen, they would need to sell at least 84 dozen donuts to make at least $1,000.
