Question

the marching band at allenville college is selling wrapping paper to raise money for new uniforms. plain wrapping paper sells for $7 per roll. meanwhile, a roll of reversible paper sells for $11. the groups goal is to raise more than $720. write the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. use the given numbers and the following variables. x = the number of plain rolls of paper sold y = the number of reversible rolls of paper sold

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the revenue from each type of paper

The revenue from plain - wrapped paper is the price per roll times the number of rolls sold. The price of plain - wrapped paper is $7 per roll and the number of rolls is $x$, so the revenue from plain - wrapped paper is $7x$. The price of reversible paper is $11 per roll and the number of rolls is $y$, so the revenue from reversible paper is $11y$.

Step2: Set up the inequality

The goal is to raise more than $720$. So the total revenue from plain - wrapped and reversible paper combined should be greater than $720$. The total revenue is $7x + 11y$.

Answer:

$7x+11y>720$
