Question

bakery has sold 75 bagels.
She needs to sell at least 450 bagels to make a profit for the day.
Write an inequality showing the number of bagels (6) that she still needs to sell.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of bagels the bakery still needs to sell.

The inequality representing this situation is:
450 - 75 - x ≥ 0

Solving for x:
375 - x ≥ 0
-x ≥ -375
x ≤ 375

Therefore, the bakery still needs to sell at least 375 bagels to make a profit for the day.
