Consider the problem: Jasmine wants to buy a brand new pair of headphones that cost $99. While she already has $40 saved up, she is planning on working at a local grocery store for $8 an hour to make up the extra cash. Which of the following inequalities will help her determine values of h, the number of hours that Jasmine can work so she can afford the new headphones?

Sagot :

The number of hours that Jasmine can work so she can afford the new headphones x = 6 weeks.

let x represent the number of weeks it will take to save enough money.

If she saves $11 each week, then in x weeks she will save  11x dollars.

Add this to the 107 she has already saved, and at the end of 11 weeks she will have

  11x + 107 dollars.

We want the amount saved to be equal to the price of the bike, so our equation is

11x + 107 = 173

In a word problem, writing the equation is usually the hardest part. Now we solve the equation.

Subtract 107 from both sides to get

11x = 66

Divide both sides by 11 to get

x = 6 weeks.
