Lisa's store collects 5% sales tax on every item sold. If she collected $22.00 in sales tax, what was the cost of the item her store sold?

Create a real world equality problem, then solve:

Example Problem:

Ana sells at least  220  shirts:

Ana  Sold  85  shirts  in the first  3 weeks  of the month:

How many shirts must Ana sell in the last week of the month?

Solution:

Let   S   =    the number  of  shirts Ana sells in the last week of the month.

Total Number  of Shirts  for the month must be greater than 220:

We Write:     85     +     S      ≥     220

We   Solve the inequality by Subtracting  85  from both sides:   S    ≥    135

Therefore,  Ana must sell  135  or more shirts in the last week to go on the school trip.

Solve:   85     +     s      ≥       220    ========>     S     ≥    135

Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.

85     +     s      ≥       220

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

s     +     85      ≥        220

Step 2: Subtract 85 from both sides.

s    +     85      −     85      ≥     220   −   85

s     ≥      135

Answer:

s     ≥     135

Check Problem:

85     +     s      ≥       220    ========>     S     ≥    135

We see that =====>   85     +     135     =    220

If Ana sells 135, or more shirts, The total number of shirts she sells that month will be  220  or more  ========>   Answer  Checked

Answer:

C) Carla is totaling the money made at the student council car wash.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of Carla, who is raising money is important to calculate the exact amount of the proceeds, so it is not possible to make approximations.

In the rest of the scenarios, make an approximation as a practical and quick way to calculate the totals.

Answer:

There are two inequalities that represent the total number of

balloons, b, they can purchase and not spend over their budgeted amount:

0.65b ≤ 70

0.65b + 225 ≤ 295

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Budget to plan the event = $ 295

Expenses on supplies so far = $ 225

Cost of each balloon = $ 0.65

2. Which of the following inequalities represents the total number of

balloons, b, they can purchase and not spend over their budgeted amount?

1. Let's find how much of the budget is still available:

Budget available = Budget to plan the event - Expenses on supplies so far

Budget available = 295 - 225

Budget available = $ 70

2. Let's find the inequality that represents the total number of

balloons, b, they can purchase and not spend over their budgeted amount.

Number of balloons ≤ Budget available/Cost of each balloon

Replacing with the values we know, we have:

b ≤ 70/0.65

0.65b ≤ 70

or we can write it also including the total budget this way:

Number of balloons  ≤ Budget to plan the event - Expenses on supplies so far /Cost of each balloon

Replacing with the values we know, we have:

b ≤ (295 - 225)/0.65

0.65b ≤ 295 - 225

0.65b + 225 ≤ 295
