Question

A local car dealership is trying to sell all of the cars that are on the lot. Currently, there are 725 cars on the lot, and thegeneral manager estimates that they will consistently sell 50 cars per week.1. Write and solve an inequality that can be used to find the number of full weeks, w, it will take for the number ofcars to be fewer than 125. Since w is the number of full or complete weeks, w = 1 means at the end of week 1.

Answer 1

Number of cars in the lot = 725 cars

W is the number of full or complete weeks

Also, 50 cars per week = 50w;

For every week, the cars will be reducing by 50;

(A) Hence , the inequality is given as;

`725-50w<125`
`\begin{gathered} 725-125<50w \\ 600<50w \\ (600)/(50)12 \end{gathered}`
