Question

GUYS PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!Jason is saving up to buy a new phone that costs $490 (I wish they were still this cheap). So far, he's saved $175. He would like to buy the camera no later than 3 weeks from now. What is the inequality used to represent how much he must save every week to have enough money to purchase the camera? (hint: when the wording is tricky, as it is in this problem, solve the problem as if it were an equation. That is to say, as if Jason was trying to save the money in exactly 3 weeks. Then decide on the sign that makes most sense).

Answer 1

175-3x=490

Explanation:

he only has 3 weeks, which is a time limit, so it would be -3x instead of +3x, he only has 175, so he needs more, so it's positive. Hope this is correct (:

Answer 2

I believe the answer is $105

Explanation:

Well you have the price of the phone which is $490 and you also have saved $175 towards the new phone.

I used substraction $175 from $490 leaves $315.

Then i divided $315 by 3 weeks and got $105 .
