Vani needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 795 forks. There are currently 315 forks. If each set on sale contains 10 forks, write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of sets of forks Vani could buy for the restaurant to have enough forks.
The number of sets of forks Vani could buy is represented by x. Since each set contains 10 forks, the total number of forks bought is 10x.
To have enough forks, the total number of forks bought should be greater than or equal to the number of forks needed.
So the inequality is given by:
10x ≥ 795 - 315
10x ≥ 480
To solve for x, divide both sides of the inequality by 10:
x ≥ 480/10
x ≥ 48
Therefore, Vani could buy at least 48 sets of forks for the restaurant to have enough forks.
