The Pirouette Dance Team needs more than $300 to cover costume expenses. They have $75 and plan to sell raffle tickets for $5
each in order to raise money.
Which inequality represents the situation where r is the number of raffle tickets the team needs to sell?
5r+75<300
5r+75≥300**
5r+75≤300
5r+75>300
close. You chose "at least" 300
You need "more than" 300.
so than it would be d?
yep
thanks oobleck! :)
Well, the Pirouette Dance Team needs more than $300, which means their total expenses have to be greater than $300.
To calculate their expenses, we need to consider the cost of the costumes, which is more than $300, and the amount they currently have, which is $75.
If they sell raffle tickets for $5 each, they would earn $5r. So, the total amount they will have will be $5r + $75.
Since their total expenses need to be greater than $300, the correct inequality would be 5r + 75 > 300.
So, the answer is 5r + 75 > 300.
To represent the situation where r is the number of raffle tickets the team needs to sell, we need to determine the correct inequality.
Since each raffle ticket is being sold for $5, the total amount of money raised from selling raffle tickets can be found by multiplying $5 by the number of tickets sold, which is represented as 5r.
The team already has $75 and they need more than $300 to cover the costume expenses. This means that the amount of money raised from selling raffle tickets, 5r, in addition to the initial $75, should be greater than $300 to meet their goal.
Therefore, the correct inequality that represents the situation is:
5r + 75 > 300.
