Myesha needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 657 knives. There are currently 248 knives. If each set on sale contains 10 knives, write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine ss, the number of sets of knives Myesha could buy for the restaurant to have enough knives.

Respuesta :

The inequality built is: [tex]10s + 248 \geq 657[/tex]

Solving the inequality, it is found that Myesha needs to buy at least 41 sets.

--------------------

  • The restaurant currently has 248 knives.
  • Each set on sale contains 10 knives, thus, for s sets, 10s knives are added.
  • If s sets are bought, the total number of knives is:

[tex]T = 248 + 10s[/tex]

The restaurant needs at least 657 knives, thus:

[tex]T \geq 657[/tex]

The inequality is:

[tex]10s + 248 \geq 657[/tex]

The solution is:

[tex]10s \geq 409[/tex]

[tex]s \geq \frac{409}{10}[/tex]

[tex]s \geq 40.9[/tex]

Thus, Myesha needs to buy at least 41 sets.
