A. Write an inequality that describes this situation. Let c represent the number of cans of food that must be collected by the end of the third week for your class to meet or surpass its goal.
B. How many cans are needed to meet or surpass the goal

Answer 1

a.)
`135 + 89 + \text{C} \geq 325`

`224 + \text{C} \geq 325`

b.)
`224 + \text{C} \geq 325`

`\text{C} \geq 325 - 224`

`\text{C} \geq 101`
