An animal shelter has $2500 in its reserve fund. the shelter charges $40 per animal placement and would like to have a least $4000 in its reserve fund. if the shelter places 30 cats and 10 dogs, will that be enough to meet its goal?

So 2500+40 times number of animals is greater than or equal to 4000

2500+40 times number of animals>4000

so we have 30 cats+10 dogs

add

30+10=40

subsitue 40 for number of animals

2500 + (40 times 40) >4000

40 times 40=1600

2500+1600>4000

2500+1600=4100

4100>4000

true

the answer is YES
