Clara wants to make some money during her summer vacations by selling handmade lace for $3.20 per yard. She has already earned $25.15. She wants to earn at least $110.75.
How many more yards of lace does she need to sell to reach her goal? Select the inequality that includes the least number of yards of lace she can sell and still reach her goal.
Let x be the number of yards of lace Clara still needs to sell.
Since each yard of lace is sold for $3.20, the amount of money she will earn by selling x yards of lace is 3.20x.
Based on the information given, Clara wants to earn at least $110.75.
This can be represented by the inequality:
25.15 + 3.20x ≥ 110.75
Solving for x, we get:
3.20x ≥ 85.60
x ≥ 26.75
Therefore, the least number of yards of lace Clara can sell and still reach her goal is 27 yards.
