Question

The French club is sponsoring a bake sale. If their goal is to raise at least $135, how many pastries must they sell at $3.00 each in order to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality.


3.00p ≥ 135; p ≥ 405


3.00p ≥ 135; p ≥ 45


3.00p ≥ 135; p ≥ 132


135p ≥ 3.00; p ≥ 45

To determine how many pastries must be sold to raise at least $135 at $3.00 each, we can set up the following inequality:

\[ 3.00p \geq 135 \]

Here, \(p\) represents the number of pastries sold.

Now, let's solve the inequality:

1. Divide both sides by 3.00:

\[
p \geq \frac{135}{3.00}
\]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[
p \geq 45
\]

Thus, the correct inequality and solution is:

\[
3.00p \geq 135; \quad p \geq 45
\]

So, they need to sell at least **45 pastries** to meet their goal of raising at least $135.

The correct option is:

**3.00p ≥ 135; p ≥ 45**
