Amelia is saving up to buy a new $105 iPad pen. Her best friend gave her $12 and she saves $20 per week from her babysitting job. How many weeks will she have to save money in order to buy the iPad? Write an inequality to solve.

Sagot :

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Ipad pen cost = -$105

Best friend ----> +$12

---------------

-$93

Babysitting Saves +$20/week

We are still needing $93 dollars to buy the pen, so, if she earns $20 peer week, then she should work:

$93 = 20 $/week * number of weeks

Calling x to the number of weeks and turning this into an inequality:

12 + 20x ≥ 105

Subtracting -12 to both sides:

20x ≥ 105-12

Simplifying:

20x ≥ 93

Dividing both sides by 20:

x ≥ 93/20

Simplifying:

x ≥ 4.65

Answer: Amelia should at least work 5 weeks in order to save the money to buy the Ipad pen.
