Question

Jenny is a great saver! She has $80 in her savings account. She deposits $25 each week into her account. She wants to save at least $300 before she begins to withdraw money from her account. Which of the following inequalities can Jenny use to determine when she can withdraw money from her account?

Answer 1

Answer:

$80+25x\geq 300$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she already has 80$ in the account it will be the starting point.

To those 80$ she adds 25$/w.

Since the amount of week is what needs to be determined we'll refer to it as x.

So far we have 80 + 25x.

Now since she only wants to withdraw once she has at least 300$, it means that the amount has to be either equal to 300 or more than 300.

Which gives us $80+25x\geq 300$
