Sarah's youth group is selling candy bars for a fundraiser. The candy bars cost $2 each. To date, they have raised $900. Their goal is to raise more than $3,300.
How many more candy bars, x, do they need to sell to reach their goal? Select the inequality that includes the smallest number of candy bars they can sell and still reach their goal.
The total amount of money they have raised so far is $900. Let's represent the number of candy bars they need to sell as x.
Since each candy bar costs $2, the total amount they would raise by selling x candy bars is $2x.
The inequality that represents the amount they need to raise (more than $3,300) is:
$2x > $3,300
To find the smallest number of candy bars they can sell and still reach their goal, we need to solve the inequality for x:
$2x > $3,300
x > $3,300 / $2
x > 1650
Therefore, they need to sell more than 1650 candy bars to reach their goal.

Hello! How can I assist you today?
that was the wrong answer
Apologies for any confusion. Let's reevaluate the problem.
The candy bars cost $2 each, and Sarah's youth group has raised $900 so far. Their goal is to raise more than $3,300.
To find the number of candy bars they still need to sell, subtract the amount they have raised from their goal:
Goal - Amount raised = Candy bars still needed
$3,300 - $900 = $2,400
Since each candy bar costs $2, divide the total amount still needed by the cost of each candy bar to find the number of candy bars needed:
$2,400 / $2 = 1200
Therefore, Sarah's youth group still needs to sell 1200 more candy bars to reach their goal.
