Question

Manuel needs to save more than $75 for a class trip. He already has $24 and

will save an equal amount each week for the next 6 weeks. Which inequality
can be used to determine how much money Manuel should save each week?

Answer 1

Manuel must save at least $ 8.5 each week ( 6x ≥ 75 - 24)

Explanation:

He has to save more than $75 - $24 = $51 for the next 6 weeks to have enough money for class trip

X: the amount must save each week

6x ≥ 51 ... divide 3 both sides

2x ≥ 17

x ≥ 17/2

x ≥ 8 1/2

Answer 2

$8.50 per wk

Explanation:

$8.50x6=$51.00+$24.00=$75.00.
