Question

a cell phone company charges $35 per month for an unlimited data plan and charges a one time $100 activation fee. your parents will only spend a maximum of $485 on a phone for you. write and solve an inequality that represents the total months (m) your parents will pay for the phone

Answer 1

Explanation:

set the months as X

base on the question information, we have

35X + 100 ≤ 485

then we can have

35x ≤ 485 -100

35x≤385

x≤385/35

x≤11

thus, we can say, the total month is 11 months the parents will pay for the phone
