Question

Write an inequality and solve the problem: There were a total of 125 cars at a car dealership. A salesperson sold 68 of the cars in one month. Write and solve an inequality that describes how many more cars, at most, the salesman has left to sell.

Interpret the solution.

Answer 1

x≤ 57

Explanation:

Let's x represent the number of cars he has to sell. Total was 125 and he already sold 68.

This inequality below represents the situation .

68+x≤ 125

"At most" shows the maximum amount.

25-68=57 cars he still has to sell. After we solve , Inequality should be x≤ 57
