Question

you are traveling to new york and have $1000 for your trip if gas will cost $150 how much money will you have left for the rest of your trip? write and solve an inequality

Answer 1

The amount of money for the rest of the trip is less than or equal to $850

Explanation:

Let

x -----> amount of money for the rest of the trip

we know that

The amount for for the rest of the trip plus the the cost of the gas must be less than or equal to $1,000

so

The inequality that represent this scenario is

`x+150\leq 1,000`

Solve for x

Subtract 150 both sides

`x\leq 1,000-150`

`x\leq 850`

therefore

The amount of money for the rest of the trip is less than or equal to $850
