Question

Jonathan wants to save up enough money so that he can buy a new sports equipment set that includes a football, baseball, soccer ball, and basketball.

This complete boxed set costs $50. Jonathan has $15 he saved from his birthday. In order to make more money, he plans to wash neighbors' windows.

He plans to charge $3 for each window he washes, and any extra money he makes beyond $50 he can use to buy the additional accessories that go with the sports box set.

A. Write inequality that represents the number of windows, w, Jonathan can wash in order to save at least the minimum amount he needs to buy the boxed set.

(Sorry if this is too long ;-;)

Answer 1

12 window

Explanation:

Answer 2

12 windows

Explanation:

This isn't too long. Bear with me though- this explanation will be REALLY long.

1. Find the difference between 50 and 15. This is the money that Jonathan must earn from washing windows.

Answer 1: $35

2. $3 earned for each window washed is represented by 3w

That money could be more than enough than $35.

Answer 2:
`3w\geq 35`

3. Solve that inequality.

Answer 3:
`w\geq 12`
