Question

Sione is a senior playing baseball for his high school team and he has a goal to get more than 150 hits during his high school career. He averages 2 hits a game and already has 110 hits from prior seasons. How many games will Sione need to play in his last season in order to achieve his goal? Write an inequality and then solve it. Use the variable "g" for goals.​

Answer 1

Sione needs to play 21 games to score more than 150 points

How to create the inequality?

The total number of points needed is 150. And we are told he already has 110 goals on standby. If he averages 2 points per game. Then we would have a mathematical inequality in the range

• 110 + 2x = 150

where x is the amount of games needed. And 2x represents the amount of points needed.

The equation can be solved by collecting like terms and solving

2x = 150 - 110

2x = 40

x = 40/2

x = 20

This means that Sione needs to play at least 20 games to equal 150 points and at least 21 games to surpass this tally.
