Question

Every month, the bank withdraws $15 from Betsy’s checking account as a service fee. Betsy has budgeted $75 for the next few service fees. For how many months will the service fee be covered? Write and solve an inequality to find the solution. Show your work.

Answer 1

You need to divide the $75 by the $15 that they withdraw each month to find out how many months the $75 will pay off. The service fee will be covered for 5 months.
