Let x be the amount of money Carlos will earn each Saturday morning.
Since there are 4 weeks in total, Carlos will earn 4x in 4 weeks.
Carlos also receives $30 from his mom.
Therefore, the total amount of money Carlos will have is 4x + 30.
Carlos hopes to save at least $200, so we have the inequality:
4x + 30 ≥ 200
The solutions to this inequality represent the possible amounts of money Carlos can earn each Saturday morning in order to reach his goal of saving at least $200.
Carlos is hoping to save at least $200 in the next four weeks. His mom gives him $30, and he earns money each Saturday morning at his grandmother’s store. Write an inequality for the amount of money Carlos will need to earn each Saturday morning, and describe the solutions. Assume Carlos will earn the same amount each Saturday morning.
