The choice of ≤ or ≥ is not trivial. To better understand this, consider the following statement: Tom is sent to the store with $20 to buy soda and chips. Each bottle of soda costs $3 and each bag of chips costs $2. Let s = soda and c = chips. What would it mean if we wrote: 3s+2c≥20? Tom can spend up to $20. Tom has to spend at least $20.

Translate the following statements into inequalities. Be sure to label your variables.

-Tania has at most 8 hours to bake for her party. It takes 2 hours to make a cake and 1 hour to make cupcakes.

-Jack wants to start a pet shop consisting of dogs and cats. He is told that she will need at least 30 animals to start her shop. -

-Beatrice needs at least 1500 units of vitamin d per day. Her multi-vitamin provides 600 units and her calcium chews supplies 250 units.
