Your baseball team is selling bags of popcorn to raise money for a trip. For each bag of popcorn you sell, $3 goes towards your trip. You hope to earn at least $150 for the trip. Write and solve an inequality that represents the numbers x of bags of popcorn you must sell to reach your goal.

x > 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of bags of popcorns to sell

Price of each bag of popcorn = $3

You hope to earn at least $150 for the trip.

At least in inequality = >

The inequality is

Price × quantity of popcorns to sell > 150

3x > 150

Divide both sides by 3

x > 150 / 3

x > 50

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
