Deondra needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 624 glasses. There are currently 344 glasses. If each set on sale contains 20 glasses, write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine ss, the number of sets of glasses Deondra could buy for the restaurant to have enough glasses

Respuesta :

Writing and solving an inequality to model the situation, it is found that Deondra could buy 14 sets of glasses for the restaurant to have enough glasses.

  • There are currently 344 glasses.
  • In each set bought, there are 20 glasses.

Hence, the total of glasses after s sets are bought is given by:

[tex]T(s) = 344 + 20s[/tex]

The restaurant needs at least 624 glasses, hence:

[tex]T(s) \geq 624[/tex]

[tex]344 + 20s \geq 624[/tex]

Solving the inequality:

[tex]344 + 20s \geq 624[/tex]

[tex]20s \geq 280[/tex]

[tex]s \geq \frac{280}{20}[/tex]

[tex]s \geq 14[/tex]

Deondra could buy 14 sets of glasses for the restaurant to have enough glasses.
