The french club is sponsoring a bake sale. if their goal is to raise at least $135, how many pastries must they sell at $3.00 each in order to meet that goal? write and solve an inequality. 135p ≥ 3.00; p ≥ 45 3.00p ≥ 135; p ≥ 405 3.00p ≥ 135; p ≥ 45 3.00p ≥ 135; p ≥ 132

3.00p ≹ 135; p ≹ 45 let's create our own equation and then see what option best matches. the french club is selling pastries, so we'll use the variable p. each pastry sells for $3.00, so we can write 3p as the amount of money they'll raise by selling pastries. so 3p now they want to raise at least $135. so let's set the equation we have to be greater than or equal to 135. giving 3p ≹ 135 solving for p, we get p ≹ 45 now let's look at the available options and see what matches: 135p ≹ 3.00; p ≹ 45 * got the correct answer, but the inequality is all wrong. so bad choice. 3.00p ≹ 135; p ≹ 405 * the inequality looks good (2 extra decimal points doesn't matter). but the answer is wrong. so still a bad choice. 3.00p ≹ 135; p ≹ 45 * both the inequality and answer looks good. this is the right choice. 3.00p ≹ 135; p ≹ 132 * good inequality, don't know where the answer came from. so bad choice.
