Question

Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling. Abha collected 178more cans than Shane did.

Answer 1

Shane collected 911 cans.

Explanation:

S - represents Shane

S + (S + 178) ≥ 2000

2S + 178 ≥ 2000

*subtract 178 from both sides*

2S ≥ 1822

*divide both sides by 2*

S ≥ 911
