The Spanish Club is selling churros as a fundraiser. If its goal is to raise at least $150, how many churros must it sell at $1.25 each to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality.

A. 1.25c≥150, c≥120
B. 1.25c≥150; c≥100
C. 150c≥1.25; c ≥ 120
D. 150c≥1.25; c≥25

1 answer

The inequality that represents the given situation is 1.25c ≥ 150, where c represents the number of churros sold.

To solve this inequality, divide both sides by 1.25:

(c ≥ 150 / 1.25)

Simplifying, we find:

c ≥ 120

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 1.25c ≥ 150, c ≥ 120. The Spanish Club needs to sell at least 120 churros to meet its fundraising goal.
