Question

WORTH 17 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony has $727.29 in his checking account. He must maintain a $500 balance to avoid a fee. He wrote a check for $248.50 today. Write and solve an inequality to solve for the least amount of money he needs to deposit to avoid a fee.

A.727.29 + 248.50 − x ≥ 500; x ≥ $475.79

B. 727.29 + 248.50 − x ≤ 500; x ≤ $475.79

C. 727.29 − 248.50 + x ≥ 500; x ≥ $21.21

D.727.29 – 248.50 − x ≤ 500; x ≤ $21.21

Answer 1

inequality is
727.29-248.50+x>500
x=how much she needs to deposit
478.79+x>500
subtract 478.79 from both sides
x>21.21


at least $21.21

Answer 2

727.29 - 248.50 + x > = 500
