an animal shelter has $2500 in its reserve fund. the shelter charges $40 per animal placement and would like to have a least $4000 in its reserve fund. if the shelter places 30 cats and 10 dogs, will that be enough to meet its goal?
so 2500+40 times number of animals is greater than or equal to 4000 2500+40 times number of animals>4000 so we have 30 cats+10 dogs add 30+10=40 subsitue 40 for number of animals 2500+(40 times 40)>4000 40 times 40=1600 2500+1600>4000 2500+1600=4100 4100>4000 true the answer is YES
