Question

If gage gets 35 bucks per month how much months will it take him to get 300 bucks

Answer 1

at least 9 months

Explanation:

35×9=315

Answer 2

It will take Gage 9 months to get $300.

Explanation:

Let
`m` = months.

The expression
`35m` will represent money per month, and must be greater than or equal to $300.

Set up your inequality:

`300\leq 35m`

Divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of
`m`:

`8.6=m`

Round to the nearest whole number:

`9=m`

Therefore, it will take Gage 9 months to get $300.

Check your work by substituting the solved value into the initial inequality:

`300\leq 35(9)`

`300\leq 315`

Since $315 is greater than $300, our solution is correct.
