The students at Summerfield High School are selling candles and scented soaps to raise money for a new computer lab. They will earn $2 for every candle they sell. Each bar of soap they sell will earn them $3. They need to raise a minimum of $2,300 to have enough money to finish construction of the computer lab.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of candles they selly= the number of soaps they sellChoices:A) \(3x + 2y \geq 2,300B) \(2x + 3y > 2,300C) \(2x + 3y \geq 2,300D) \(3x + 2y > 2,300
Q. The students at Summerfield High School are selling candles and scented soaps to raise money for a new computer lab. They will earn $2 for every candle they sell. Each bar of soap they sell will earn them $3. They need to raise a minimum of $2,300 to have enough money to finish construction of the computer lab.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of candles they selly= the number of soaps they sellChoices:A) \(3x + 2y \geq 2,300B) \(2x + 3y > 2,300C) \(2x + 3y \geq 2,300D) \(3x + 2y > 2,300
Calculate Earnings: Determine the earnings per candle and per bar of soap.Earnings per candle: $2Earnings per soap: $3We need to express the total earnings in terms of the number of candles x and soaps y sold.
Write Expressions: Write the expressions for the total earnings from candles and soaps.Total earnings from candles: 2x (since each candle earns $2)Total earnings from soaps: 3y (since each bar of soap earns $3)
Combine Expressions: Combine the expressions to form the total earnings equation.Total earnings = Earnings from candles + Earnings from soapsTotal earnings = 2x+3y
Determine Minimum Earnings: Determine the minimum total earnings required to meet the goal.The students need to raise at least $2,300.
Formulate Inequality: Formulate the inequality that represents the situation.Since the students need to raise at least $2,300, the total earnings from selling candles and soaps must be greater than or equal to $2,300.Inequality: 2x+3y≥2,300
