The Spanish Club is selling churros as a fundraiser. If its goal is to raise at least $150, how many churros must it sell at $1.25 each to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality.
A. 1.25c≥150, c≥120
B. 1.25c≥150; c≥100
C. 150c≥1.25; c ≥ 120
D. 150c≥1.25; c≥25
The inequality that represents the given situation is 1.25c ≥ 150, where c represents the number of churros sold.
To solve this inequality, divide both sides by 1.25:
(c ≥ 150 / 1.25)
Simplifying, we find:
c ≥ 120
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 1.25c ≥ 150, c ≥ 120. The Spanish Club needs to sell at least 120 churros to meet its fundraising goal.
Let's solve this step by step.
Let c represent the number of churros sold.
The price of each churro is $1.25.
The total amount raised from selling c churros can be calculated by multiplying the price of each churro by the number of churros, which is 1.25c.
The goal is to raise at least $150, so we can set up the following inequality:
1.25c ≥ 150
To isolate c, divide both sides of the inequality by 1.25:
c ≥ 150 / 1.25
c ≥ 120
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. 1.25c ≥ 150; c ≥ 120
To solve this problem, let's create an inequality.
Let's represent the number of churros the Spanish Club must sell as "c", and the cost per churro as $1.25.
The total amount the Spanish Club makes from selling churros can be found by multiplying the number of churros (c) by the cost per churro ($1.25).
So, the total amount the Spanish Club makes is 1.25c.
Since the goal is to raise at least $150, we can write the inequality:
1.25c ≥ 150
Now, let's solve the inequality:
Divide both sides of the inequality by 1.25:
c ≥ 150 / 1.25
c ≥ 120
Therefore, the correct inequality is:
A. 1.25c ≥ 150, c ≥ 120
This means that the Spanish Club must sell at least 120 churros to meet its goal of raising at least $150.
