Answer:
a: 3400 </ 670 + 80p
b: 34.125 </ p so you would need 35 paychecks
Step-by-step explanation:
part a: 3400 is less than or equal to 670 + 80p
part b: subtract 670 from both sides, left with
2730 is less than or equal to 80p
divid both sides by 80
Multiply 80 by the number of weeks (x)
Add that to what she has saved.
This needs to be at least the total amount needed.
The inequality would be:
670 + 80x >= 3400
Part B solve For x
670 + 80x >= 3400
Subtract 670 from both sides:
80x >= 2730
Divide both sides by 80:
X >= 34.125
Round ups it will take a minimum of 35 paychecks
