Your softball team is selling candles to raise money for a trip. For each candle you sell, $5.50 goes towards your trip. You hope to earn at least $110 for the trip. Write and solve an inequality that represents the numbers of candles x you must sell to reach your goal.

Answer :

absor201

20 or more candles must be sold to reach the goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Each candle contributes = $5.50

x be the number of candles.

Amount needs to be earned = $110 or more

Therefore,

According to given statement;

5.50x ≥ 110

[tex]\frac{5.50x}{5.50}\geq \frac{110}{5.50}\\x\geq 20[/tex]

20 or more candles must be sold to reach the goal.
