Mr. herman's class is selling candy for school fundraiser. the class has a goal for raising $500 by selling c boxes of candy. for every box they sell, they make $2.75.

The goal is to raise $500.

for selling c boxes, they make $2.75,

total made = $ 2.75c

for them to be able to make the $500,

2.75c ≥ 500

c ≥ 500 / 2.75

c ≥ 181.82

for them to reach and exceed their target, the number of boxes should be greater than 181.82

so c should be like 182, 183, 184, and above

hope this clarifies it. 

Hope i can you!
