Let's assume Carlos earns x dollars each Saturday morning.
The total amount Carlos will earn in four weeks is 4x dollars (since there are four Saturdays in four weeks).
Carlos also received $30 from his mom.
To have at least $200 in four weeks, Carlos must have a total of at least $200.
So, we can write the inequality as:
4x + 30 ≥ 200
This inequality states that the total amount of money Carlos earns in four weeks, plus the $30 from his mom, must be greater than or equal to $200.
The solutions to this inequality are the values of x that make it true. Carlos will need to earn at least the solution value each Saturday morning in order to have at least $200 in four weeks.
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. (2 points)
Where is the amount Carlos earns each Saturday morning. Carlos must
earn at least $ each Saturday morning to have at least $200 in four weeks.
