Question

Liam and his children went into a movie theater and will buy bags of popcorn

and pretzels. He must buy at least 8 bags of popcorn and pretzels altogether.
Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number
of bags of popcorn purchased, b, and the number of pretzels purchased, p.

Answer 1

At least can be denoted by the inequality operator ≥. We need to find the sum of popcorn and pretzels which can be written as b + p so the answer is:

b + p ≥ 8.
