21 or more T-shirts
We want to find how many more T-shirts the school band has to sell to reach or exceed their goal. From the exercise, we know that they have already raised $45 and that they get $5 for each T-shirt sold. Let's use x to represent the number of T-shirts sold in our expression.
Amount of money raised = 45 + 5 * x
LHS- 45≥RHS- 45
Subtract terms
.LHS / 5.≥.RHS / 5.
Calculate quotient
We found that the school band has to sell at least 21 more T-shirts to reach their goal.
