Question

Carole has $53.95 and washes cars for $8 each. Carole wants to attend a musical that costs $145.75.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the minimum number of cars Carole must wash to be able to buy the ticket to the musical.

Carole has $53.95 and washes cars for $8 each. This means that the total amount that she would earn after washing x cars is

8x + 53.95

Carole wants to attend a musical that costs $145.75. Therefore, the inequality to determine the minimum number of cars that Carole must wash to be able to buy the ticket to the musical is

8x + 53.95 ≥ 145.75

8x ≥ 145.75 - 53.95

8x ≥ 91.8

x ≥ 91.8/8

x ≥ 11.475

b) it is not the same. The minimum number of cars that Carole must wash is 12 because the number of cars cannot be a fraction and if she washes 11 cars, she cannot raise the needed amount.

Answer 2

Answer:

53.95+8x ≥145.75

Carole needs to wash at leas 12 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 53.95+8x ≥145.75

subtract 53.95

8x ≥91.8

divide by 8

x ≥11.475

round

Carole needs to wash at leas 12 cars
