Question

Sherri’s 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 (\(b\)) that she still needs to sell.

Answer 1

Let b be the number she still needs to sell. Then 75 + b ≥ 450, so

b ≥ 450 − 75 = 375.

She must sell at least 375 more bagels.
