The 45 members of the glee club are trying to raise $6,000 so they can compete in the state championship. They already have $1,240. What inequality can you write to find the amount each member must raise, on average, to meet the goal? I want the answer step by step, please.

The inequality can be written as:

45x + 1240 ≥ 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of members = 45

If one person donates the sum of = $x

Then the total amount raised by 45 people becomes = 45x

Minimum amount of money required to compete in the championship = $6000.

Money which they already have = $1240

So, Amount of money they have to raise = $6000 - $1240

We can show inequality as:

45x ≥ 6000 - 1240

Which show that the total amount raised by 45 people (45x) should be equal or greater than the amount of money they have to raise ($6000 - $1240)

Rearrange the equation;

45x + 1240 ≥ 6000

3-4

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 3-4 because both 45 and 60 has a multiple of 15.

45/3=15

60/4=15

therefore the odds against selecting a red is 4-3

good luck on your studies! : )
