Jon wants a new watch that costs $545. He has $126 saved. He works on the weekends at a pizza shop making $9.50. he will work the next 6 weekends. Solve the inequality using X as a variable
Let's let x be the number of weeks Jon saves his weekend earnings.
The total amount of money Jon will earn from working on the weekends is 6 * $9.50 = $<<6*9.5=57>>57.
The total amount of money Jon will have after his earnings is $126 + $57 = $<<126+57=183>>183.
Now we need to find the number of weeks Jon needs to save in order to have enough money to buy the watch.
The inequality is: x * $9.50 ≥ $545 - $183.
The inequality simplifies to: x * $9.50 ≥ $362.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by $9.50 gives us: x ≥ $362 / $9.50.
Simplifying: x ≥ 38.
So Jon needs to save for at least 38 weeks in order to have enough money to buy the watch.
