Answer:
2.50p ≥ 135 , p ≥ 54.
Thus, option (B) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The French club is sponsoring a bake sale and their goal is to raise at least $135.
We have to find the number pastries they must sell at $2.50 each in order to meet the given goal.
Let p be the number of pastries baker sales.
Then cost of p pastries at $2.50 each is 2.50p
and the goal is to raise at least $135 (135 or more than 135)
Thus, inequality becomes,
2.50p ≥ 135
Solving inequality,
Divide both side by 2.50, we have,
[tex]\frac{2.50p}{2.50}\ge \frac{1350}{2.50}[/tex]
Simplify, we have,
p ≥ 54.
Thus, option (B) is correct.
