To find at least how many plates India would have to sell to reach her goal, we need to solve the inequality 8x - 7 > 97 for x (number of plates).
8x - 7 > 97
Add 7 to both sides:
8x > 104
Divide by 8 on both sides:
x > 13
India would have to sell at least 14 plates to reach her goal of making $97.
India wants to make $97 selling plates of food. She sells each plate and drink for $8. If she paid $7 for the drinks use the inequality 8x-7>97 to find at least how many plates she would have to sell to reach her goal
