The inequality that represents the maximum number of speakers Michael can buy without spending more money than he has in his account is:
$1,038.07 - $547.07 - $50x ≥ 0
This simplifies to:
$491 - $50x ≥ 0
Therefore, the inequality is:
$50x ≤ $491
x ≤ 491/50
x ≤ 9.82
Since Michael cannot buy a fraction of a speaker, he can buy a maximum of 9 speakers without spending more money than he has in his account.
Michael has $1,038.07 in his checking account. He is going to spend $547.07 on a new television, and he will spend the rest on speakers that cost $50.00 each. Which of the following inequalities would determine the maximum number of speakers, x, Michael can buy without spending more money than he has in his account?
