The field has a promotion that says, "Get \$10$10dollar sign, 10 off if you spend \$75$75dollar sign, 75 or more!" Carolina wonders how many paintballs she needs to buy along with the entrance fee to get the promotion.

Answer 1

Answer:

713 paint balls

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality equation for the above question is given as:

$18 + $0.08 × b ≥ 75

Where b = number of paint balls

$18 + 0.08b ≥ 75

0.08b ≥ 75 - 18

0.08b≥ 57

b ≥ 58/0.08

b ≥ 712.5

b≥ 713 paint balls

Hence, Carolina would need to buy 713 paintballs along with the entrance fee to get the promotion.
