Question

Your baseball team is selling bags of popcorn to raise money for a trip. For each bag of popcorn you sell, $3 goes towards your trip. You hope to earn at least $150 for the trip. Write and solve an inequality that represents the numbers x of bags of popcorn you must sell to reach your goal.

Answer 1

x > 50

Explanation:

Let

x = number of bags of popcorns to sell

Price of each bag of popcorn = $3

You hope to earn at least $150 for the trip.

At least in inequality = >

The inequality is

Price × quantity of popcorns to sell > 150

3x > 150

Divide both sides by 3

x > 150 / 3

x > 50
