The marching band is holding a fundraiser. The band is selling t-shirts for $22 and yearbooks for $23. The goal is to sell at least $2,400 in merchandise. Which of the following is a solution to this scenario?

Answer 1

Option A: Sell 50 t-shirts and 50 yearbooks

50 t-shirts would bring in 50 x $22 = $1,100
50 yearbooks would bring in 50 x $23 = $1,150
Total sales = $1,100 + $1,150 = $2,250

This is not a solution as it falls short of the goal of selling at least $2,400 in merchandise.

Option B: Sell 70 t-shirts and 60 yearbooks

70 t-shirts would bring in 70 x $22 = $1,540
60 yearbooks would bring in 60 x $23 = $1,380
Total sales = $1,540 + $1,380 = $2,920

This is a solution as it exceeds the goal of selling at least $2,400 in merchandise.
