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.(2 points)

x > 3,000
x > 3,000
x > 450
x > 450
x > 1,200
x > 1,200
x > 2,400
To find how many more candy bars, x, they need to sell to reach their goal, we can subtract the amount they have already raised from their goal:
Goal - Amount raised = Amount still needed
$3,300 - $900 = $2,400
To find the number of candy bars still needed, we divide the amount still needed by the cost of each candy bar:
$2,400 / $2 = 1,200
Therefore, the correct inequality is x > 1,200.
