Question

The value of Jared's car is currently $15,000. It loses $950 in value every year. He plans to sell his carwhen it reaches a value of $10,000 or less. Which of the following inequalities could help determine inhow many years (y) Jared will sell his car?A 15,000 - 950y < 10,000B 15,000 + 950y < 10,000C 15,000 - 950y > 10,000D 15,000 + 950y > 10,000

Answer 1

Current value : $15,000

Loses per year: $950

number of years: y

He plans to sell his car when it reaches a value of $10,000 or less

Subtract the product of the number of years (y) and the amount lost per year (950) to the current value

15,000-950 y

That expression must be less or equal to 10,000

15,000-950y < 10,000 (A)
