What is the smallest positive integer that can be multiplied by 9.97 to get a product greater than 100? In other words, what is the smallest number possible for x:


9.97x > 100


I am confused.

Respuesta :

x> 1000/997
Alternate form is
x> 10 30/997, 1000/997 = 10.03009 , x {10000/997 , + infinity}

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

9.97x > 100

We are to determine the smallest possible integer that can be multiplied by 9.97 to get a product greater than 100.

Divide both sides by 9.97

[tex]\frac{9.97x}{9.97}>\frac{100}{9.97}[/tex]

x>10.03

Since x is greater than 10, the nearest integer greater than 10 is 11.

There the number is 11.
