Kentish has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. He wants to have a at least $200 in the account by the end of the summer. He withdraws $25 each week for food, clothes, and movie tickets. Write an inequality that represents Kenith’s situation. How many weeks can Kenith withdraw money from his account?

Answer 1

The inequality would be 200>(or equal to) 500-25x, x representing the number of weeks. Then you just solve the inequality. Subtract 500 from both sides (-300= -25x). Divide both sides by -25 (12=x). The answer is he can withdraw money for up to 12 weeks.
