Erin is going to knit scarves in different colors to sell and give as gifts. She plans to give away 3 scarves to her friends. Afterwards, Erin wants to have at least 25 scarves left to sell at her shop. Let x represent how many scarves Erin should knit. Which inequality describes the problem?

Answer :

Let x represent how many scarves Erin should knit. After giving out 3 of these she should have

x - 3

If Erin still wants to have "at least" 25 scarves left to sell, that means the least number she should have left is 25, and nothing less than that. This means she can have either 25 or any amount more than that. Hence, the inequality here is represented by;

[tex]x-3\ge25[/tex]

The inequality that describes this problem is

x - 3 >= 25
