Question

David requires at least $300 to hold his birthday party. If David can save $63 a month, how many months will he need to save to be able to afford his

birthday party?

a. Write an inequality that describes this situation

b. Solve the inequality. Show all your work

c. Write your answer in a complete sentence.​

Answer 1

63m ≥300

63m ≥300
Divide both sides by 63 to isolate the variable m
m ≥ 4.761904761904762
But since months are whole numbers you will round up to 5
m ≥ 5

David needs to save $63 fir a total of at least five months to have enough for his party.
