Answer to Problem 17PT

At least 70 bags are required or x≥70 i.e. option J is correct answer.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: A community wants to raise at least $4000 for a park. $150 is already given as donation and bags are being sold at the rate of $55 per bag to reach to the goal.

Formula/Concept used: Based on given information, required inequality will be set as :

Total donation + price of one bag × total bags sold = total raised fund

And accordingly inequality is set as :

   55x+150≥4000

Calculation: On subtracting 150 each side and then on dividing each side by 55,

   55x≥4000−150=3850

Or, x≥385055=70

Conclusion: At least 70 bags to be sold or option J is correct answer.
