To determine

To calculate: To calculate the no. of toys for a toy drive distribution.

Answer to Problem 21P

The no. of toys needed more than 700

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

Let the no. of toys to be needed = $x$

Total no. of toys = $300+x$

More than 1000 toys to be distributed

Now,

Collected toys are

  $300+x>1000$

Solving above inequality

  $\begin{array}{l}x>1000-300\\ x>700\end{array}$

So, toys needed more than 700.
