Question

Carlos keeps his cards in an album. So far he has lots of full pages plus another 48 cards ready to go in. Altogether, he has more than 500 cards. If each page holds 20 cards, write an inequality that represents how many pages of cards Carlos might have. Solve the inequality. Guys how do i do this, this is hard, pls pls help.

Answer 1

x ≥ 22.6 pages

Explanation:

Each page = 20 cards

Cards ready to go in = 48

Let x = number of pages of cards Carlos might have

The inequality:

20x + 48 ≥ 500

20x ≥ 500 - 48

20x ≥ 452

x ≥ 452 / 20

x ≥ 22.6 pages
