Question

Three friends earned more than $200 washing cars. They paid their parents $28 for supplies and divided the rest of money equally. Write an inequality to find possible amounts each friend earned.

Answer 1

m > (200 - 28)/3

Explanation:

Let m = the amount each got. If they made more than 200, then m > 200.But, they paid $28, so m > 200 - 28 And they divided it up 3 ways. m > (200 - 28)/3
