The correct inequality that can be used to determine the minimum number of sets of spoons Sydney should buy is D) 525 ≤ 20s + 335.
Explanation:
- Sydney needs at least 525 spoons.
- There are currently 335 spoons.
- Sydney needs to buy sets of spoons, with each set containing 20 spoons.
- Let s be the minimum number of sets of spoons Sydney should buy.
- Sydney needs to find the minimum value of s that satisfies the requirement.
- Therefore, the minimum number of spoons Sydney should buy is 20s.
From the information given above, we can create the inequality:
Total spoons bought (20s) + Current spoons (335) should be greater than or equal to the required spoons (525):
20s + 335 ≥ 525
This can be rewritten as:
525 ≤ 20s + 335
Therefore, the answer is D) 525 ≤ 20s + 335.
