bags, which inequality can be used to calculate how many bags of corn, x, are
needed for the month?

Answer:

x≥(500-87)/40

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 500 lbs and already have 87 so you need at least 413 bags. You divide you 40 because they come in 40 pound bags. Round up so that you have the minimum number of bags necessary to reach 500 lbs of corn.
