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.
A.
x > 2,500
B.
x > 1,400
C.
x > 1,100
D.
x > 350

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

2,900-700 = $2,200

$2,200 divided by $2= 1,100 candy bars

The least they can sell is 1,100 candy bars

Answer 2

C. x>1,100

Explanation:

$2,900 - 700= 2,200

2,200/2 = 1,100
