Cognitive demand: medium. Typical question shape: Solve inequality; remember to flip on multiply/divide by negative.
Lila is planning a school fundraiser where she will sell homemade cookies. Each cookie will be sold for $2. If Lila wants to earn at least $50 from the sale, how many cookies does she need to sell?
- 25 ✓
- 20
- 30
- 15
Why: To find out how many cookies Lila needs to sell, we can set up the equation: 2 * x ≥ 50, where x is the number of cookies. Dividing both sides by 2 gives us x ≥ 25. Thus, Lila needs to sell at least 25 cookies to earn $50.
Sofia is planning a birthday party and wants to order pizzas for her friends. Each pizza costs $12. If she has a budget of $72, which of the following statements best represents how many pizzas she can buy without exceeding her budget?
- She can buy 6 pizzas. ✓
- She can buy 5 pizzas.
- She can buy 7 pizzas.
- She can buy 8 pizzas.
Why: To find out how many pizzas Sofia can buy, we divide her budget by the cost of each pizza. So, $72 ÷ $12 = 6. Therefore, Sofia can buy 6 pizzas without exceeding her budget.
Priya is organizing a charity event to raise funds for her school. She plans to sell tickets for $10 each. If she wants to raise at least $500, what does this tell us about the minimum number of tickets she needs to sell?
- 50 ✓
- 100
- 70
- 80
Why: To find out how many tickets Priya needs to sell to raise at least $500, we can set up the inequality: 10 * x ≥ 500, where x is the number of tickets. Solving for x gives us x ≥ 500 / 10, which simplifies to x ≥ 50. This means Priya needs to sell a minimum of 50 tickets, making '50' the correct answer.
Fatima is organizing a school fundraiser. She plans to sell packets of seeds for planting flowers. Each packet costs $3. If Fatima wants to raise at least $120 for her school's garden project, what is the minimum number of seed packets she needs to sell?
- 40 ✓
- 36
- 44
- 30
Why: To find the minimum number of packets Fatima needs to sell, divide the total amount she wants to raise by the price per packet. So, $120 ÷ $3 = 40. Therefore, Fatima must sell at least 40 packets to reach her goal.
