Question

Kendall is selling bags of popcorn to raise money for her soccer team. If she has raised $104 so far and the popcorn bags cost $8 each, how many more must she sell in order to raise at least 400?

Question 8 options:

At least 50

37 or more

At most 50

Less than 37

Answer 1

To determine how many more bags of popcorn Kendall needs to sell to raise at least $400, we first need to calculate how much more money she needs.

1. Total money needed: $400
2. Money raised so far: $104
3. Money still needed: \[ 400 - 104 = 296 \]

Next, we find out how many bags of popcorn she needs to sell to raise those $296. Since each bag costs $8, we can calculate the number of bags required by dividing the remaining money by the price per bag:

\[ \text{Bags needed} = \frac{296}{8} = 37 \]

Since she needs to raise at least $296, and 37 bags will exactly raise that amount, she will need to sell at least 37 more bags to achieve her goal of $400.

Based on the options provided, the correct answer is:

37 or more.
