Question:

A grocery store has 120 bottles of spring water in stock.  The store orders bottles of spring water in cases of 24.  The store wants to order enough cases of spring water so it has more than 500 bottles in stock.  Which inequality best models this situation?

A.  24x + 120 > 500

B.  24x - 120 > 500

C.  24x + 500 > 120

D.  24(x+120) > 500

Option  A.  24x + 120 > 500  is the inequality that best models this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Number of bottles of spring  water in the stock = 120

Each case of the spring water bottles contains 24 bottles

The store wants  to order enough cases of spring water so  that it has over 500 bottles in stock.

So there are already 120 bottles in stock .

The store will order

24x +120  > 500

where x  is the number of spring water bottle cases

180-142=38 for the acute angle next to the entry

90+38=128

180-128=52

a=52
