Your goal is to save at least $360.00 over the next 6 weeks. How much money must you save each week to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality.
Let x be the amount of money that must be saved each week to meet the goal.
The total amount saved over the 6 weeks is 6x.
According to the problem, 6x should be greater than or equal to $360.00.
Therefore, the inequality is:
6x ≥ 360
To find the value of x, divide both sides of the inequality by 6:
x ≥ 360 ÷ 6
x ≥ 60
Therefore, the amount of money that must be saved each week to meet the goal is at least $60.00.
