Question

Madison needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 400 spoons. There are currently 219 spoons. If each set on sale contains 18 spoons, which inequality can be used to determine xx, the minimum number of sets of spoons Madison should buy?

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Let x = number of sets. Then

219 + 18x ≥ 400.

Solve: 18x ≥ 181, so x ≥ 181/18 ≈ 10.06. Since x must be an integer, Madison should buy at least 11 sets.
