The students at Stafford High School are selling candles and scented soaps to raise money for

a new computer lab. They will earn $4 for every candle they sell. Each bar of soap they sell
will earn them $1. They need to raise a minimum of $1,300 to have enough money to finish
construction of the computer lab.
Write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and
the following variables.
x = the number of candles they sell
y = the number of soaps they sell

4x + y ≥ 1300
