Katie and Rebecca are each trying to earn money to pay for their sports activities for next year.
To help Katie earn money, her parents told her she could walk the dog every day of the week. Katie has $525 already saved. She earns $25 per week walking the dog. Her goal is to have $1250 to play on the soccer team.
To help Rebecca earn money, her parents told her she could do the dishes each night of the week. Rebecca has $510 already saved. She earns $30 per week washing dishes. Her goal is to have $1350 to play on the hockey team. Write an inequality.
Let x represent the number of weeks.
For Katie:
Katie's total savings after x weeks can be represented by the inequality 525 + 25x ≥ 1250.
For Rebecca:
Rebecca's total savings after x weeks can be represented by the inequality 510 + 30x ≥ 1350.
