The junior class is selling donuts for a fundraiser. The students are selling the donuts by the dozen. If they want to sell one dozen for $12, write an inequality to find how many dozen donuts they need to sell to make at least $1,000 and find the solution?

Answer 1

Let x be the number of dozen donuts they need to sell.
The inequality to represent the situation is 12x >= 1000.
To solve for x, divide both sides of the inequality by 12: x >= 1000/12.
Simplifying the right side, x >= 83.33333.
Therefore, they need to sell at least 84 dozen donuts to make at least $1,000.
