A school set a goal to collect at least $360 from a book sale. They have already collected $180. The school receives $3 for each book sold. Write an inequality to show the number of books the school needs to sell to meet their goal.

step-by-step explanation:

where is the question is there is a formula or is there not one

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
