Problema Solution
Joshua is purchasing sausages for the annual tailgate with 78 guests. He plans to serve each guest at least one sausage dog. If each package, p, contains eight sausage dogs, Write and solve an inequality to determine how many packages of sausage dogs John will need to buy?
Answer provided by our tutors
We need the number of packages (8 sausage dogs per package) such that no less than 78 sausage dogs are used:
78 <= 8p
p>=9.75
So Joshua must buy 10 packages, otherwise there will not be enough.
