Question

A grocery store has
362
cans of soup to sell. The owner will order more soup to make sure the store has at least
500
cans.



Which inequality represents the number of cans of soup,
s
, the owner needs to order?



A.
362
+
500
<
s

B.
362
+
s
>
500

C.
362
+
500
≤
s

D.
362
+
s
≥
500

Answer 1

D. 362 + s ≥ 500

Explanation: after ordering s cans the total is 362 + s, which must be at least 500. (Equivalently s ≥ 500 − 362 = 138.)
