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

Answer: 10

Explanation:

300 ÷ 28 = 10

Answer 2

Answer: 600-28W ≥ 300

why? Because 600 minus 28. (28 times the number of Weeks he removes the money) is what he'll have at the end of the summer. He wants at least 300 so more than or equal too.
