There are 150 members in the school marching band. the band wants to raise $30,000 for a trip to a national competition. the school agreed to contribute $10,000 towards the trip. which inequality shows the amount of money that each band member should raise?

A) 150x + 30,000 > 10,000
B) 150x + 10,000 > 30,000
C) 10,000x + 150 > 30,000
D) 10,000x + 30,000 > 150

Answer 1

The answer is B, $10,000 is given and is not a variable that can be changed, since there are 150 band students raising money it would be 150x, and the 30,000 is the goal of the fundraiser
