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
Hence,
The concession stands needs to sell 14 or more bags.
