Question

Under her cell phone plan, Jocelyn pays a flat cost of $35 per month and $5 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill under $55 per month. Use the drop-down menu below to write an inequality representing gg, the number of gigabytes she can use while staying within her budget.

Answer 1

Answer is
$5gg+ $35 ≤ $55
Is your inequality statement

4 gg is the solution

Step by step

gg = gigabytes she can use and stay within budget

$5 is “x” or “gg”, the rate per gg

$35 is the one time fee

$55 is the output or y

Using y intercept form, y = mx + b

$5gg+ $35 ≤ $55

$5gg ≤ 55 -35

$5gg ≤ $20

gg ≤ 4 that she can use and stay within budget

** we used less than or equal to sign because we cannot spend over $55
