If p is the number of packages Tatiana needs to buy to have at least 32 bracelets, the inequality representing the problem is: 4p+5≥32 What is the minimum number of packages Tatiana needs to buy?

7 packages would equal 28 bracelets, then add the 5 she already has and you get 33 total bracelets. 

7 packages is the answer

Let

p--------> the number of packages Tatiana needs to buy

we know that

[tex] 4p+5 \geq 32\\ 4p \geq (32-5)\\ 4p \geq 27\\\\ p \geq \frac{27}{4} \\ \\ p \geq 6.75 [/tex]

therefore

the minimum number of packages does Tatiana needs to buy is [tex] 7 [/tex]

let's check

[tex] 7*4+5=33 [/tex] bracelets

[tex] 33 \geq 32 [/tex] ------> is ok

the answer is

the minimum number of packages is [tex] 7 [/tex]
