Given :

The restaurant needs at least 468 spoons.

There are currently 256 spoons.

Let the number of sets = x

Each set on sale contains 8 spoons,

So, the number of spoons = 8x

so, the inequality will be:


8x+256\ge468

Solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 8x\ge468-256 \\ 8x\ge212 \\ \\ x\ge(212)/(8) \\ \\ x\ge26.5 \end{gathered}
