Write the linear inequality in standard form for this situation: In order to raise money to attend upcoming competitions, the Math Pentathlon team is selling apple cider and hot chocolate. They hope to make at least $240 by selling hot chocolate for $1 a glass and hot apple cider for $2 a glass

A x+2y>240

B x+2y≤240

C x+2y≥240

D x+2y<240

x + 2y ≥ 240 is the linear inequality in standard form for this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot chocolates sold = x

Cost of each hot chocolate = $1

Let the number of apple ciders sold = y

Cost of each hot chocolate = $2

So, the total amount earned = x ($1) + y ($2)

Also, the total amount earned should at least be $240

Hence, according to the question

x + 2y ≥ 240 is the linear inequality in standard form for this situation.
