Question

Manuel has $600 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. He wants to have at least $300 in the account at the end of the summer. He withdraws $28 each week for food. Which inequality represents w, the number of weeks Manuel can withdraw money while not dropping below a $300 balance?

Answer 1

Well you didn't put the answer choice but I will say the inequality will look something like this

600 - 28w is greater than or equal to 300

This is because he doesn't want to drop below 300 dollars however he can have more or equal to $300. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

28w < 600 --300

Explanation:

Manuel has $600, and his goal is to keep at least $300 in the account, so he will be able to spend up to the difference ($300) by withdrawing $28 each week. How many weeks can he withdraw (w) ? It can be equal to or less than $300. This is represented in the following inequality:

$28w < $600 -- $300
