The Jazz Band needs to raise at least $600 to travel to an upcoming competition. The members of the band have already raised $350. If they sell calendars for $8 each how many calendars would they need to sell to exceed their goal?

Answer: At least 32 calendars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they already have $350 out of the $600, they only need to raise $250 more (600-350).

Each calendar is $8

To find how many calendars are needed to raise $250, divide it by $8 (250/8=31.25)

Since you cannot sell .25 of a calendar it would round up to be 32.

Answer:

32 calendars

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an inequality

Let x represent calendars

8x+350 > 600

Solve, first by subtract 350 from both sides

8x>250

Divide by 8 on both sides

x> 31.25

They must sell at least 32 calendars, because if they only sold 31, they would not meet their goal.

Hope this help! :)
