Answer 1: 5.75p ≥ 230
Answer 2: 5.75p ≥ 230
5.75p - 5.75 ≥ 230 - 5.75
5.75(p - 1) ≥ 224.25
p - 1 ≥ 39.25
p ≥ 40.25
Answer 3: When this inequality is graphed, the limit will be a closed circle and the line will have an arrow pointing to the right.
Merv is selling yodeling pickles as a fundraiser. If her goal is to raise at least $230, how many pickles must she sell at $5.75 each to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality with p as the number of pickles she must sell.
Question 1: What is the inequality that models this story?
Question 2: Solve the inequality, showing all steps.
Question 3: When this inequality is graphed will the limit be an open or closed circle?
Will this inequality is graphed will the line have an arrow pointing to the right or to the left?

the solution is rubbish. Just divide to get
p ≥ 40
p ≥ 40
