Question

Liza wants to have more than $750 in her

savings account before she will leave for college.
Right now she has $300, and she is going to
baby sit to earn $ 12.00 an hour. How many hours
will Liza need to babysit before she leaves for
college? What’s the inequality

Answer 1

Explanation:

750-300= $450 left that needs to be save to meet her goal.

set an equation to equal 450 that includes the next part of the information given which is $12 and hour

450=12x

isolate x by dividing 12 to both sides

x= 37.5 hrs

the inequality could be :

750<_ 300+ 12x

Answer 2

x is equal to or greater than 38.

Explanation:

use the equation 300+12x to find the amount of money in total dependent on x, the number of hours she worked.
