India wants to make $97 selling plates of food. She sells each plate and a drink for $8. If she paid $7 for the drinks, use the inequality 8x−7≥97 to find at least how many plates she would have to sell to reach her goal.

Answer 1

To find how many plates she would have to sell, we need to solve the inequality 8x - 7 ≥ 97.
Adding 7 to both sides of the inequality, we get:
8x ≥ 104
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
x ≥ 13
Therefore, India would have to sell at least 13 plates to reach her goal.

India would have to sell at least
