Question

Charlotte needs at least 60 signatures from students in school so that she can run for student government president. She already has 12 signatures. She and her three friends plan to get the remaining signatures during gym.

If each person gets the same number of signatures, which inequality can Charlotte use to determine the minimum number of signatures each person should get so he/she can run for student government president?

Answer 1

If she already has 12 signatures: 60 - 12 = 48

48/3 = 16

so, she and her friends need at least 16 signatures each.

p being person;

p
`\geq` 16 (p has to be greater or equal than 16)
