Question

River goes to LAKE University. She has $900 in her savings account. She needs to buy a small ipad before next semester that costs $600. Every week, she withdraws $50 from her savings account for food. Which inequality models this story?

a.$600 + 50w= $900
b.$600 – 50w = $900
c.$600 – 50w = $900
d.$600 + 50w = $900

Answer 1

The correct inequality that models the given story is option c. $600 - 50w = $900.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct inequality that models the given story is option c. $600 - 50w = $900.

In this case, River's initial savings account balance of $900 is decreased by $50 every week, so it should be subtracted from the value of the small iPad, $600. The resulting expression represents River's remaining savings after buying the iPad.
