    Answer:

    The concession stands needs to sell 14 or more bags.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that:

    Cost per bag of popcorn = $2.50

    Number of bags already sold = 30

    Cost of 30 bags = 30*2.50 = $75

    Bags needs to be sold to make $110 = x

    2.50x + 75 ≥ 110

    2.50x ≥ 110-75

    2.50x ≥ 35

    Dividing both sides by 2.50

    \frac{2.50x}{2.50}\geq \frac{35}{2.50}\\x\geq 14

    Hence,

    The concession stands needs to sell 14 or more bags.
