Under her cell phone plan, Janelys pays a flat cost of $46.50 per month and $5 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill under $70 per month. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine g, the number of gigabytes Janelys can use while staying within her budget.

Answer:

Less than 4.70 GB

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = # of GB that Janelys uses that month. Since Janelys wants to pay less than $70 given that the flat rate for subscribing to that company's data per month is $46.50 and each GB costs $5 to use, the inequality can be written as:

5x + 46.50 < 70

5x < 23.50                        Subtract $45.60 from each side.

x < 4.70 GB                       Divide 5 from each side.

Thus, (if it is whole numbers) Janelys can use 4 GB while staying within her budget or (if decimals are fine) anything less than 4.70 GB. Hope this helped! :D
