Example Question #2 : One Variable Equations And Inequalities: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Ced.A.1
Jimmy has a collection of baseball cards. He wants to make at least $20.00 by selling some of them for $4.00 per card. Which inequality best represents this goal?
To set up the inequality that represents Jimmy's situation, first identify what is given in the word problem and then translate it into mathematical terms.
"Jimmy has a collection of baseball cards. He wants to make at least $20.00 by selling some of them for $4.00 per card."
Let,
Since Jimmy wants to make "at least" $20.00, that means the inequality will have a greater-than or equal-to sign.
From here, set up the general inequality and substitute the known values.
