Question

Chris pays a fee if her balance falls below $10 on the statement data. Prior to the statement date, her balance was -$3.46. Then Chris made a deposit, d, in ample time, so she did not have to pay a fee. Write and solve an inequality to represent this situation. P

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution of the inequality required for the situation is d  ≥ $13.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the minimum deposit is $10.

ii) the balance before the statement is $-3.46

iii) a deposit d is made so that the fee did not have to be made

iv) therefore d + (-3.46)  ≥  10

                    d - 3.46 ≥ 10

    therefore d  ≥ 10 + 3.46

 therefore d  ≥ $13.46
