Question

emir is filling a piñata for his little sisters birthday party. he starts with 40 lollipops. emir plans to add at least as many candy bars as lollipops. let c represent the number of candy bars that emir might add. which inequality models the story? c > 40 c ≥ 40 c < 40 c ≤ 40 graph the inequality that models the story. to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it. 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the key - word

The phrase "at least" means greater than or equal to. Emir starts with 40 lollipops and he plans to add at least as many candy bars as lollipops. If $c$ is the number of candy bars, then $c$ should be greater than or equal to 40.

Step2: Determine the inequality

The inequality is $c\geq40$.

Step3: Graph the inequality

For the inequality $c\geq40$, we plot a closed - circle at 40 (because 40 is included in the solution set, due to $\geq$) on the number line and draw a ray to the right.

Answer:

The inequality is $c\geq40$. To graph it, plot a closed - circle at 40 on the number line and draw a ray to the right.
