To solve the inequality 110 ≥ 3p, you need to isolate p by dividing by 3 on both sides:
110 ≥ 3p
110/3 ≥ p
36.67 ≥ p
Since p represents the number of peppers needed for each box and it must be a whole number, the farm will need to harvest 37 peppers for each of the 110 boxes to contain at least 3 peppers.
A farm is planning to sell small boxes of peppers at the farmer's market. They have 110 boxes to fill, and they want each box to have at least 3 peppers. The inequality 110 ≥ 3 expresses the total number of peppers, p, they need to harvest for each of the 110 boxes to contain at least 3 peppers. Solve this inequality. (1 point)
