an investor has increased my budget by $22,250. The investor does not need to be repaid but rather he becomes part owner of my business. Will the investor contribute enough money to meet the cost of rent and utilities? I must support my answer and write an equation or ineguality that illustrates my answer. The budget is $118,250.00.

you don't have enough information. What is the cost of rent and utilities?

To determine whether the investor's contribution will be enough to cover the cost of rent and utilities, we need to compare the total budget with the anticipated expenses for rent and utilities.

Let's assume the anticipated monthly cost for rent and utilities is represented by the variable "x".

The investor has increased your budget by $22,250, so your new budget is $118,250 + $22,250 = $140,500.

To see if the investor's contribution will cover the cost of rent and utilities, we can write an inequality:

x ≤ $140,500

This inequality states that the anticipated expenses (x) should be less than or equal to the new budget ($140,500) for the investor's contribution to be sufficient.

However, since we do not have any specific values for rent and utilities, we cannot solve the inequality. You will need to determine the exact monthly cost for rent and utilities and substitute it into the inequality to find out if the investor's contribution is enough.
