Solve the inequality to answer the question.

36) Jan is renting one of the VeoRide bikes in downtown Nashua. The bikes cost $0.50 for each quarter of an hour. Jan has less than $5 for the ride. Let q represent the number of quarter hours Jan rides. How many can she ride and still be under budget?

37) Toby is trying to keep at least $100 in his piggy bank. At the start of the summer he had $436. Each week he takes $12 out of his piggy bank for expenses. Let w represents the number of weeks. How many weeks can Toby keep up this habit?

Answer 1

Explanation:

36) 0.50q < 5

0.50/0.50 q < 5/0.50

q < 10

37) 436 - 12w ≥ 100

-12w ≥ 100 - 436

-12w ≥ -336

-12 / -12 w ≤ -336/ -12

w ≤ 28
