The inequality that can be used to show the amount of the monthly payment on car loan that Rhoda would have to do is p + p/2 ≥ 190

<h3>How to solve for the inequality</h3>

The cost is said to be at least 190 dollars to operate the car for a month period.

let p = amount of payment on loan

The question says that the amount on gas and repairs is half of p

Hence this can be formed as total cost =

p + p/2 ≥ 190

The cost for Rhoda to operate her car for one month was at least $190. The cost for gas and repairs was an additional one-half of her monthly payment. Which inequality can be used to find the amount of the monthly payment on the car loan (p)?

answer choices

p + p/2 ≤ 190

p + p ÷ (1/2) ≥ 190

p + (1/2) ÷ p ≥ 190

p + p/2 ≥ 190
