Question

Under her cell phone plan, Paisley pays a flat cost of $60 per month and $3 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill under $75 per month. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine g g, the number of gigabytes Paisley can use while staying within her budget.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The inequality to determine the number of gigabytes Paisley can use while staying within her budget can be written as:

60 + 3g < 75

Solving for g:

60 + 3g < 75

-60 -60

0 + 3g < 15

/3 /3

g < 5

So Paisley can use up to 5 gigabytes while staying within her budget.
