Question

Ben wants to buy a new car stereo and he has already saved some money. He used this inequality to represent the amount he still has to save to be able to buy the stereo, where a represents the amount still left to save. A + 212 greater-than-or-equal-to 365 If Ben saves $15 a week for the next 10 weeks, will he be able to buy the stereo and why? No, because he needs to save at least $153, and he will only save $150 over the next ten weeks. No, because he needs to save $577, and he will only save $150 more. Yes, because he has already saved $365, and the stereo cost $212. Yes, because he has already saved $212, and he will save another $150.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using the equation, A + 212 ≥ 365

No, because he needs to save at least $153, and he will only save $150 over the next ten weeks.

Answer 2

No, because he needs to save at least $153, and he will only save $150 over the next ten weeks.

Explanation:

In case when ben wants to save $15 for a week and the total number of weeks is 10 so the total saving amount is $150. Now if the cost of a stereo is less than the total of saving amount so he is confident to purchase the stereo.

Now if the amount that required to be saved is represented by a is more than $150 so he is unable to purchase a stereo

Hence, the correct option is a.
