Question

i want to purchase a necklace for 325$ . ive already saved 115.00 and can set aside 22.00$ a week . which inequality can be used to find the number of weeks it will take to save at least 325.00$?

Answer 1

22w + 115 = 325 w = about 10 weeks

Explanation:

The first part of this inequaltiy is 22w. Since he/she will set aside $22 a week, you would put a variable because the number of weeks you will need to set aside $22 is unknown therefore you put a variable that makes sense. I put w because you can say that w=weeks. The next part of the inequality is adding $115 because he/she has already saved $115 so we add that to 22w. Finally 22w+115 has to equal $325 because that is how much the necklace costs. Hope this helps!
