Question

Write and solve an inequality for each problem. Jorge’s soccer team is having its annual fundraiser. The team hopes

to earn at least three times as much as it did last year. Last year the
team earned $87. What is the team’s goal for this year?

Answer 1

First of all, they need to triple their profits. So 87 x 3 = 241.

When you read the question, it says at least. In inequality terms, that means greater than equal to. You’d do this:

x is the amount of money they raise this year.
