Question

triniti had $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. She wants to have at least $200 in the account by the end of the summer. She withdraws $25 each week for food, clothes, and movie tickets. Write an inequality that represents Triniti's situation.

Answer 1

500-(25x) < 200
Or it could be less than or equal too so the less than with a line under

Answer 2

`500-25w\geq 200`

Explanation:

Let w represent number of weeks.

We have been given that Triniti withdraws $25 each week for food, clothes, and movie tickets. So amount withdrawn in w weeks would be
`25w`.

We have been given that Triniti had $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. So amount left after w weeks would be
`500-25w`.

Triniti wants to have at least $200 in the account by the end of the summer. So amount left after w weeks would be greater than or equal to 200.

We can represent this information in an inequality as:

`500-25w\geq 200`

Therefore, our required inequality would be
`500-25w\geq 200`.
