Question

The cost for Rhoda to operate her car for one month was at least $190. The cost for gas and repairs was one half the amount of the monthly payment on the car loan.

Answers

  1. The inequality that can be used to show the amount of the monthly payment on car loan that Rhoda would have to do is p + p/2 ≥ 190

    How to solve for the inequality

    The cost is said to be at least 190 dollars to operate the car for a month period.
    let p = amount of payment on loan
    The question says that the amount on gas and repairs is half of p
    Hence this can be formed as total cost =
    p + p/2 ≥ 190
    The cost for Rhoda to operate her car for one month was at least $190.  The cost for gas and repairs was an additional one-half of her monthly payment.  Which inequality can be used to find the amount of the monthly payment on the car loan (p)?
    answer choices
    p + p/2  ≤ 190
    p + p ÷ (1/2) ≥ 190
    p + (1/2) ÷ p ≥ 190
    p + p/2 ≥ 190
