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 sell and still reach there goal
The cost of 1 candy bar is $2.
Let x be the number of candy bars they still need to sell to reach their goal.
The amount raised by selling x candy bars is 2x.
The total amount they have raised so far is $900. Their goal is to raise more than $3,300.
The inequality that includes the smallest number of candy bars they sell and still reach their goal is:
2x + 900 > 3300
Solving for x:
2x > 2400
x > 1200
Therefore, they still need to sell more than 1200 candy bars to reach their goal.
