Sam starts the summer with $950 in his wallet. He aims to have a minimum of $600 left by the end of the summer. Each week, he spends $35 on recreational activities. Write an inequality to determine the number of weeks Sam can continue spending money, and solve the inequality. (1 point)
The inequality can be written as:
950 - 35w ≥ 600
To solve it, we can subtract 950 from both sides and then divide by -35:
-35w ≥ 600 - 950
-35w ≥ -350
Dividing both sides by -35, we have:
w ≤ -350 / -35
w ≤ 10
Therefore, Sam can continue spending money for a maximum of 10 weeks.
