204

Practice makes perfect

Olivia needs more than $ 254 to go on a trip. To earn this amount, she sells candy bars that each cost $ 1.25. We want to find the minimum number of candy bars she needs to sell. Let x be the number of candy bars Olivia sells. Then, we can write the following. 1.25 * x > 254 Let's solve for x.

1.25 * x > 254
x > 203.2
x>203

Therefore, Olivia must sell at least 204 candy bars.
