Question

Most insurance companies will replace a vehicle any time an estimated repair exceeds 80% of the blue book value of the vehicle. Michele’s insurance company paid $8500 for repairs on her car after an accident. What can be concluded about the blue book value of the car?

Answer 1

Answer:

x ≤ 10,625

Step-by-step explanation:

$8500 must be less than or equal to  80% of the blue book value

We can write the following inequality:-

0.80x  ≤ 8500  

x ≤  10,625 where x is the blue book value
