Seki and raina sold a total of 162 candles for their school fund-raiser. if seki sold three boxes of candles and raina
sold two boxes plus twelve single candles, how many candles come in each box?

30 candles in each box

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+2x+12=162        Where x is the number of candles per box

5x+12=162              Combine like terms

5x=150                   Subtract 12 from both sides

x=30                       Divide both sides by 5

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
