Write an inequality to determine the number of cans, S, that Shane could have collected.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling. Abha collected 178 more cans than Shane did. Write an inequality to determine the number of cans, that Shane could have collected.
Let the number of cans collected by Shane be x
Also let the number of cans collected by Abha be x + 178, since he collected 178 more cans than Abha did.
Now both Shane and Abha have to collect not less than 2000 cans for recycling,
Therefore x + x + 178 ≥ 2000
2 x + 178 ≥ 2000
2 x ≥ 2000 - 178
2 x ≥ 1822
x ≥ 1822 / 2
x ≥ 911 cans
Shane could have collected more than or equal to 911 cans
Answer:
Shane have collected ≥ 911 Cans
Step-by-step explanation:
Shane and Abha earned a team badge that required their team to collect no less than 2000 cans for recycling. Abha collected 178 more cans than Shane did.
Write an inequality to determine the number of cans, S, that Shane could have collected.
Total can to be collected ≥ 2000
Let Say Shane collect Cans ≥ S
Then Abha collected Can ≥ S + 178
Abha + Sana Total Collected ≥ S + S + 178
=> Abha + Sana Total Collected ≥ 2S + 178
2S + 178 ≥ 2000
=> S + 89 ≥ 1000
=> S ≥ 911
Shane could have collected 911 or more Cans
