Question

india wants to make 97 dollars selling plates of food she sells each plate and a drink for 8 dollars if she paid 7 dollars for the drinks use the inequality 8x-7>97 to find at least how many plates she would have to reach to sell to reach her goal

Answer 1

To find out how many plates India would have to sell to reach her goal of making $97, we can solve the inequality:

8x - 7 > 97

Add 7 to both sides of the inequality:

8x > 104

Now, divide both sides by 8 to isolate x:

x > 13

So, India would have to sell at least 14 plates in order to reach her goal of making $97.
