Alocal charity sponsors a 5k race to raise money. it receives $58 per race entry and $15,000 in donations, but it must spend $13 per race entry to cover the cost of the race. write and solve an inequality to determine the number of race entries the charity needs to raise 60,000

There are various ways to set up an inequality for the problem. I will help you solve it, though.

So, first we'll take the total amount needed for charity which is $60,000. Subtract the amount in donations, $15,000.

60,000-15,000= 45,000

That means, they "only" need $45,000 more for their $60,000 goal.

We'll determine how much money they'll take in per person. Since they have to also pay for each racer of $13; we'll subtract that amount of the entry fee of $58.

58-13= 45.

Now, we know that they will make $45 per person via entry fee in profit.

We'll take our total of $45,000 and divide it by $45. This will leave you with 1,000.

1,000 race entries are required for this charity to raise $60,000.

there were a lot of them but the first one to pop up on a google search was bts
