Question

Marco wants to buy a new smartphone that costs $495, with some additional accessories. He has already saved $75. Write and solve an inequality to find the least amount of money, m, that Marco still needs to save before he can buy the smartphone and accessories. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

495-75=m m=420

Explanation:

He needs to save 495 dollars, and hes already saved 75

and needs to find out how much more he needs to save to have 495 dollars

To do this, take 495 and subtract 75. This is how we get the inequality

495-75=m

From here it is simple, just subtract 75 from 495 to get 420
