Under his cell phone plan, Ian pays a flat cost of $59.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill under $80 per month. Which inequality can be used to determine xx, the maximum number of gigabytes Ian can use while staying within his budget?

Btw this is Delta math Inequalities in Context (MC)


Sagot :

You would start by saying his budget is $80 so you start with 80= he pays an initial fee of $59.50 every month plus $5 per gigabyte so you would set it up like
80=59.50+5x
X being how many gigabytes he uses then you solve 80-59.50 is 20.5 divided by 5 gives you 4.1 but you round down cause you don’t want to pass the limit so therefor the most gigabytes he can use is 4
