The football team needs to raise at least $7,000 for new football uniforms. An anonymous donor gave the team $1,250 toward their goal. Each player is also able to raise $100 by selling candy. Write an inequality to show how many players need to raise $100 to meet their goal.

Respuesta :

Answer: There are 58 players to raise $100 to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount to raise = $7000

Amount given the team by the donor = $1250

Amount each player is able to raise = $100

Let the number of player be 'x'.

According to question, we get that

[tex]1250+100x\geq 7000[/tex]

So, the required number of players would be :

[tex]100x\geq 7000-1250\\\\100x\geq 5750\\\\x\geq \dfrac{5750}{100}\\\\x\geq 57.5[/tex]

Hence, there are 58 players to raise $100 to meet their goal.
