Question

Sarah's youth group is selling candy bars for a fundraiser. The candy bars cost $2 each. To date, they have raised $900. Their goal is to raise more than $3,300. How many more candy bars, x, do they need to sell to reach their goal? Select the inequality that includes the smallest number of candy bars they can sell and still reach their goal.(2 points) Responses x > 3,000 x > 3,000 x > 450 x > 450 x > 1,200 x > 1,200 x > 2,400

Answer 1

To find out how many more candy bars they need to sell, we can subtract the amount they have raised so far from their goal.

$900 raised
-$3,300 goal
----------
$2,400 difference

Since each candy bar costs $2, we can divide the difference by 2 to find out how many more candy bars they need to sell.

$2,400 difference / $2 per candy bar = 1,200 candy bars

Therefore, the inequality that includes the smallest number of candy bars they can sell and still reach their goal is x > 1,200.
