The 2008 attendance at the Ohio State Fair was at least 16,700 less than the attendance in 2009. If the attendance in 2008 was 809,300, write and solve an inequality to find the 2009 attendance.

Delores · Answer

809,300>x-16,700 X<826,000

Steve · Answer

I understand the question to mean that the difference in attendance was at least 16,600, so I'd write it as

x-809,300 >= 16,700
x >= 826,000

Note that "at least" means greater or equal, not just greater.
