The school will be charged a one-time shipping fee of $32.95 for the flowers. For each flower sold, the school will earn $1.17 for the fundraiser. Can both of these inequalities be used to determine the number of roses the students need to sell to meet the goal of $1000?
• 1.17n-32.95 2 1000, where n represents the number of
roses sold
• 1.17(120) - 32.95 2 1000, where d represents the number
of dozens of roses sold
Explain or show your reasoning. You may use a combination of diagrams, drawings, expressions/equations, and words.
Use the following inequality to determine n, the minimum number of roses the students need to sell to meet the goal. 1.17 n 32.95 1000
roses
The goal is to have 150 students sell roses for the fundraiser. If each student sells the same number of roses, approximately how many roses will
each student sell?
