Question

Kimberly has 500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. She wants to have at least $200 in the account at the end of the summer. He withdraws $ 25 each week for food, clothes, and movie tickets. How many weeks can Kimberly withdraw money and still have $200 in her account at the end of the summer?

Answer 1

Answer: Let's start by figuring out how much money Kimberly will have left at the end of the summer if she withdraws $25 each week.

Since there are 12 weeks in the summer, she will withdraw a total of:

$25 x 12 = $300

So if she starts with $500, she will have:

$500 - $300 = $200

left at the end of the summer.

Therefore, Kimberly can withdraw money for up to 12 weeks and still have $200 in her account at the end of the summer.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The inequality is 500 - 25x >= 200

This insures that he will have at least 200 at the end of the summer.

subtract 200 from both sides of that inequality and add 25x to both sides of that inequality to get 500 - 200 >= 25x

simplify to get 300 >= 25x

divide both sides of that equation by 25 to get 300 / 25 >= x

simplify to get 12 >= x 12 >= x means x <= 12.
