Inequalities

Let's call c the number of cans of food.

The school wants to collect more than 2,000 cans in a food drive.

668 cans have been collected so far.

The number of cans needed to reach the goal is 2,000 - 668.

These cans will be collected in 7 days, thus:

7c > 2,000 - 668

Operating

7c > 1,332

Dividing by 7:

c > 1,332 / 7

c > 190.29

This is the average number of cans needed to collect each day.

The first choice is correct
