350 + 0.2m ≤ 500

Is it 450???
Ms. Sue
No. Using the inequality I posted, how did you get that answer?

So I took a guess...I thought 450 because that is less than 500 and she only has 500 dollars
Ms. Sue
Do the equality the same way you do an equation.

350 + 0.2m ≤ 500

Subtract 350 from both sides.

Solve for m.

Subtract 350 from 350 and 350 from 500? How do I get m?
Ms. Sue
350 + 0.2m ≤ 500

Subtract 350 from both sides.

0.2m ≤ 150

Divide both sides by 0.2

m ≤ 150 / 0.2
