How many more bracelets, x, does she need to sell in order to reach her goal?

Question

Jinny is selling bracelets for $2.50. So far, she has earned $220.00. She needs to earn more than $305.00 in order to meet her goal. How many more bracelets, x, does she need to sell in order to reach her goal?

Answer 1

2.50x+220.00>305.00

 

2.50x>85.00

 

then divide by 2.50 on both sides and get the number of bracelets she needs in order to reach her goal.
