Need help please! I just need help with creating an inequality and solving it.

Question

Ethen considers some fundraisers for the upcoming year. He looks at data from the first fundraiser the club did last year. The club sold a variety of snacks last year. The numbers of snacks sold are shown in the table.

Type of snack Number sold
Energy bars : 194
Baked chips: 200
Organic treats: 235
Whole grain crackers: 78

The club sold the snacks for $3 each. The club gets half of this amount as profit. The club also gets a bonus of $100 for any snack when it sells at least 200 of that snack. Last year’s data on sales are shown in the table.

(b) Write an inequality to show how many snacks of one type would need to be sold to earn a profit of at least $500. Support your inequality with an explanation

Answer 1

Let x = number of snacks

1.5x + 100 ≥ 500

Can you give the explanation?
