Question

Your school wants to collect at least 5,000 box tops for a fundraiser. Write and graph an inequality to describe the amount of box tops that your school hopes to collect.

Answer 1

The answer is: $b\geq5,000$ and the graph is attached.

The explanation is shown below:

1. You must use the information given in the problem to write the inequality.

2. $b$ represents the number of  box tops for the fundraiser. Based on the information, the value of $b$ must be greater than or equal to 5,000 box tops. Therefore, you have that the inequality is:

$b\geq5,000$

3. Then, you obtain the graph attached. As you can see, you must use a closed circle for ≥.
