Question

Sally's bank account has $650 in it. Every week, Sally withdraws $50 to pay for her dog sitter.

What is the maximum number of weeks that Sally can withdraw the money so there is at least $75

remaining in the account?

Write and solve an inequality to find the solution.

Answer 1

11 weeks

Explanation:

If we multiply 50 by 11 we get 550 with a remainder of 100, if we're to take out another 50 for another week we would have 50 dollars remanding but the question says that we need to have at least 75 remaining so this will not be possible. Therefor 11 weeks is our answer.

I hope this helps have a great day :)
