Q. Victoria is running a fundraising campaign for the local community center. Her goal is to raise more than $5,500\$5,500. If the campaign has already raised $2,324\$2,324, which of the following inequalities can be solved to find xx, the amount of money that still needs to be raised for Victoria to meet her goal?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) x2,324>5,500x-2,324 > 5,500\newline(B) 2,324+x>5,5002,324+x > 5,500\newline(C) x2,324<5,500x-2,324 < 5,500\newline(D) 2,324+x<5,5002,324+x < 5,500
  1. Identify Goal and Current Amount: We know that Victoria's goal is to raise more than $5,500\$5,500 and that $2,324\$2,324 has already been raised. We need to find the amount of money, represented by xx, that still needs to be raised to exceed the goal.
  2. Calculate Remaining Amount: To find out how much more needs to be raised, we add the amount already raised (2,324)totheamountthatstillneedstoberaised(2,324) to the amount that still needs to be raised (x).Thissumshouldbegreaterthanthegoal(). This sum should be greater than the goal (55,500500).
  3. Formulate Inequality: The correct inequality to represent this situation is 2,324 + x > 5,500. This inequality states that the total amount raised after adding xx to the current amount should be greater than $5,500\$5,500.
  4. Verify Correct Representation: Now we check the given options to see which one matches our derived inequality. Option (B) 2,324 + x > 5,500 is the correct representation of the situation.
