Question 3 • APSB 2025 Math Essentials-ALP

In a beanbag toss game, Janelle scores 5 points for landing on a round target and 8 points for landing on a square target. She needs more than 50 points to win. Let x represent the number of times Janelle lands on the round target and let y represent the number of times she lands on the square target. Which inequality represents the situation?

Answer
A
5x + 8y > 50
B
5x + 8y ≥ 50
C
8x + 5y > 50
D
8x + 5y < 50

Explanation

Each landing on the round target adds 5 points, so x round-target landings contribute 5x points. Each landing on the square target adds 8 points, so y square-target landings contribute 8y points. She needs more than 50 points, which is written with >: 5x + 8y > 50, choice A.
