Question: Enola needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where she works. The restaurant needs at least 767 spoons. There are currently 263 spoons. If each set on sale contains 12 spoons, use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing � s, the number of sets of spoons Enola should buy
Since the restaurant currently has 263 spoons and needs at least 767, she needs to buy at least 504 more spoons (767-263). With each set containing 12 spoons, the number of sets she needs to buy 's' could be represented with the inequality: 12s ≥ 504
The inequality representing s (the number of sets of spoons Enola should buy) would be: s * 12 + 263 >= 767 Explanation: Enola needs at least 767 spoons, and she already has 263 spoons. To find out how many sets of spoons Enola should buy, we can start by assuming that she buys s sets of spoons. Each set contains 12 spoons, so the total number of spoons she will have after buying s sets is 12s. However, she already has 263 spoons, so the total number of spoons she will have after buying s sets is 12s + 263. This should be greater than or equal to 767 (since she needs at least that many spoons), so we can write the inequality: 12s + 263 >= 767 Simplifying this inequality gives: 12s >= 504 Dividing both sides by 12: s >= 42 So Enola should buy at least 42 sets of spoons to ensure that she has enough spoons for the restaurant.
