Tonisha has a lemonade stand. She has $30 in expenses and wants to make at least $65 per day. If x represents the amount of revenue from selling lemonade, write and solve an inequality to represent the amount of revenue she would need to generate.
Her revenue needs to be at least $65 per day, so the inequality is:
x - 30 ≥ 65
Adding 30 to both sides of the inequality, we get:
x ≥ 95
So she would need to generate at least $95 in revenue to meet her goal. Answer: \boxed{95}.
answer?
The answer is $95. Tonisha would need to generate at least $95 in revenue.
Lamont has purchased 25 trading cards and wants to have at most 60 trading cards. Write and solve an inequality to find the number of trading cards Lamont needs.
Letting x represent the number of additional trading cards Lamont needs, the inequality is:
25 + x ≤ 60
Subtracting 25 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
x ≤ 35
So Lamont needs at most 35 additional trading cards.
