Question

HURRY PLEASE HELP Caitlin wants to collect toys to donate to a local shelter. Her goal is to collect at least 300 toys. On Monday she collects 40 toys. On Tuesday she collects twice as many as on Monday. On Wednesday she collects three times as many as Monday. Which inequality represents the total number of toys Caitlin must collect on Thursday, x, to reach or exceed her goal of 300 toys?

Answer 1

300 ≥ 40 + 80 + 120 + x

x ≥ 60

Explanation:

Monday = 40 toys

Tuesday = 2(40) = 80 toys

Wednesday = 3(40) = 120 toys

Thursday = x toys

At least means ≥

300 ≥ 40 + 80 + 120 + x

300 ≥ 240 + x

300 - 240 ≥ x

60 ≥ x

x ≥ 60
