Question

Molly and Lynn both set aside money weekly for their savings. Molly already has $650 set aside and adds $35 each week. Lynn already has $825 set aside but adds only $15 each week. Which inequality could they use to determine how many weeks, w, it will take for Molly's savings to exceed Lynn's savings?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 650 + 35w > 825 + 15w

Step-by-step explanation:

Molly = $650

Molly's weekly additions = $35

Lynn=$825

Lynn's weekly additions= $15

Let the number of weeks = w

inequality to determine how many weeks, w, it will take for Molly's savings to exceed Lynn's savings

Molly's savings

$650+ $35w

Lynn's savings

$825 + 15w

The inequality is

650 + 35w > 825 + 15w

The inequality above will show the number of weeks it will take for Molly's savings to be greater than Lynn's savings
