Sarah's youth group is selling candy bars for a fundraiser. The candy bars cost $1.50 each. To date, they have raised $700. Their goal is to raise more than $2,500. How many more candy bars, x, do they need to sell to reach their goal? Select the inequality that includes the smallest number of candy bars they can sell and still reach their goal.

Respuesta :

Goal = > $2500
Amount raised = $700
Amount needed to raise = $2500 - 700 = $1800

Number of candy bars needed = x
Price of a candy bar = $1.50

1.5x > 1800 
x > 1800 ÷ 1.5
x > 1200

Answer: They need to sell more than 1200 candy bars.
