Question

Under her cell phone plan, Paisley pays a flat cost of $60 per month and $3 per gigabyte. She wants to keep her bill under $75 per month. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine
g, the number of gigabytes Paisley can use while staying within her budget.
Answer

Answer 1

what does g =?

Answer 2

The inequality can be written as 60 + 3g ≤ 75.

Answer 3

To solve the inequality, we can subtract 60 from both sides:

3g ≤ 15

Next, divide both sides by 3:

g ≤ 5

Therefore, the number of gigabytes Paisley can use while staying within her budget is g ≤ 5.
