Given:
bake sale at least $300
price of each pie is $6.00
let the number of pies be represented by x.

Write the inequality:
6x > 300  

Solve the inequality:
6x > 300
÷6       ÷6
  x > 50

Graph the inequality.
y = 6x

x is the number of pies sold; x at least 50 and gradually increases.
y is the total sales
