Victoria is running a fundraising campaign for the local community center. Her goal is to raise more than $5,500. If the campaign has already raised $2,324, which of the following inequalities can be solved to find x, the amount of money that still needs to be raised for Victoria to meet her goal?Choose 1 answer:(A) x-2,324 > 5,500(B) 2,324+x > 5,500(C) x-2,324 < 5,500(D) 2,324+x < 5,500
Q. Victoria is running a fundraising campaign for the local community center. Her goal is to raise more than $5,500. If the campaign has already raised $2,324, which of the following inequalities can be solved to find x, the amount of money that still needs to be raised for Victoria to meet her goal?Choose 1 answer:(A) x−2,324>5,500(B) 2,324+x>5,500(C) x−2,324<5,500(D) 2,324+x<5,500
Identify Goal and Current Amount: We know that Victoria's goal is to raise more than $5,500 and that $2,324 has already been raised. We need to find the amount of money, represented by x, that still needs to be raised to exceed the goal.
Calculate Remaining Amount: To find out how much more needs to be raised, we add the amount already raised (2,324)totheamountthatstillneedstoberaised(x).Thissumshouldbegreaterthanthegoal(5,500).
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 x to the current amount should be greater than $5,500.
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.
