Question

SOLVE PLEASE Sarah must maintain a balance of at least $500 in her checking account to avoid finance charges. If her current balance is $794, write an inequality to determine how many times she can withdraw $25 for shopping without paying finance charges.

Answer 1

so since her balance must be at least 500, her ballance cannot reach 500
so 794-500=294
see how many 25's you can fit into 294
we know that 4 25's =100 and 294 is roughly 300
so 4 times 3=12
we minus one of the 25's because 294 is less than 300 so
the innequality is
>means more than
794-25x>500
