Question 224051: the french club is sponsoring a bakesale. if their goal is to raise atleast $140,how many pastries must they sell at $3.50 each in order to meet their goal? write and solve an inequality

Since they want to make at least $140, that amount is the minimum and any amount greater than $140 is also an acceptable profit. So, the sign of the inequality will be a greater than or equal to sign. The inequality set-up will be:

Where represents the number of pastries that need to be sold.
To solve this we simply need to divide both sides by $3.50 to get by itself.
When we do this we find that in order to make $140, the french club must sell at least 40 pastries.
