Given :
The soccer team is selling bags of popcorn for $3 each and cups of lemonade for $2 each.
To make a profit they must collect a total of more than $120.
To Find :
Write an inequality to represent the number of bags of popcorn sold, p, and the number of cups of lemonade sold, c, in order to make a profit.
Solution :
Let, number of popcorn sold is p and number of cups of lemonade sold is c.
So, total money earned is :
T = 3p + 2c
Now, it is given that to make a profit they must collect a total of more than $120 i.e total revenue should be greater than $120.
So,
T ≥ $120
3p + 2c ≥ 120
Hence, this is the required solution.
