Andre has a summer job selling magazine subscriptions. He earns $25 per week plus $3 for every subscription he sells. Andre hopes to make at least enough money this week to buy a new pair of soccer cleats. The least expensive pair of cleats Andre wants costs $68. a.) Write an inequality to find the number of subscriptions he needs to sell so that he can buy a pair of cleats.

b.) Solve the inequality from part (a).

c.) Interpret (what does it mean) and graph the solution.

68≥25+3x

x≥15

Step-by-step explanation:

the overall goal is to have $68, so the goal needs to be less then or equal to the weekly $25 plus each additional subscription at $3 (x represents the needed amount of subscriptions he sells) the inequality would look something like 68≥25+3x because he wants the money this week.

to solve the inequality you would subtract the 25 from the 68, leaving you with 43≥3x as the new inequality, now you need to divide both sides by 3. Which comes out to 14.33333 since we cant sell a fraction of a subscription you must round up giving you the new inequality of x≥15

this means that in order for Andre to get the cleats this week, he must sell at least 15 subscriptions

hope this helped

the results from a pre-test for students for the year 2000 and the year 2010 are illustrated in the box plot. what do these results tell us about how students performed on the 29 question pre-test for the two years?

if we compare only the lowest and highest scores between the two years, we might conclude that the students in 2010 did better than the students in 2010. this conclusion seems to follow since the lowest score of 8 in 2010 is greater in value than the lowest score of 6 in 2000. also, the highest score of 28 in 2010 is greater in value than the highest score of 27 in 2000.

but the box portion of the illustration gives us more detailed information. the middle bar in each box shows us that the median score of 20 in 2000 is greater in value than the median score of 17 in 2010. further, we note that the box and whiskers divide the illustration into four pieces. each of these four pieces represents the same portion of students. so, the upper half of the students in 2000 scored in the same score range as the upper one-fourth of the students in 2010, see the illustration at a score of 20.

by considering the upper one-fourth, upper half, and upper three-fourths instead of just the lowest and highest scores, we would conclude that the students as a whole did much better in 2000 than in 2010. we would conclude that as a whole the students in 2010 are less prepared than the students in 2000.

in this section, we discuss box-and-whisker plots and the five key values used in constructing a box-and-whisker plot. the key values are called a five-number summary, which consists of the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
