Question

Terrance earns an average bi-weekly net pay of $1,431.00. Which compound inequality correctly shows the amount of money he can spend if his monthly budget for transportation is between 15% and 20%?

Group of answer choices

$214.65 > t > $286.20

$214.65 < t < $286.20

$465.08 ≥ t ≥ $620.10

$465.08 ≤ t ≤ $620.10

Answer 1

The second option:

$214.65 < t < $286.20

Explanation:

15%(1431) = 214.65

20%(1431) = 286.20

therefore, the second option

Answer 2

$214 < t < $286.20

Explanation:

15% of 1,431 = .15 x 1,431 = $214.65

20% of 1,431 = .2 x 1,431 = $286.20

Transportation budget: t can be more than $214.65. t has to be less than $286.20.

t > 214.65

t < 286.20
