Nathan needs to order some new supplies for the restaurant where he works. The restaurant needs at least 571 forks. There are currently 361 forks. If each set on sale contains 10 forks, use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing s

s, the number of sets of forks Nathan should buy.

The inequality representing  s, the number of sets of forks Nathan should buy is

s ≥ 21

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the restaurant needs at least 571 forks, i.e., if n represents the number of forks the restaurant needs, then

n ≥ 571

Also from the question, there are currently 361 forks. If y represents the number of forks the restaurant needs to buy, then

y ≥ 571 - 361

y ≥ 210

Also, each set on sale contains 10 forks. if s represents the number of sets of forks Nathan should buy, then

s ≥ 210/10

s ≥ 21

Hence, the inequality representing  s, the number of sets of forks Nathan should buy is

s ≥ 21
