Manuel has $600 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. He wants to have at least $300 in the account at the end of the summer. He withdraws $28 each week for food. Which inequality represents w, the number of weeks Manuel can withdraw money while not dropping below a $300 balance?
The answer to this question is 600-28w > 300. This inequality can be described as $600 (money in the savings account) subtracted by $28w (withdrawal of $28 a week for food) should be greater than $300. It proves that the money will not drop below $300.
