Michael has $1,042.98 in his checking account. He is going to spend $494.85 on a new television, and he will spend the rest on speakers that cost $48.00 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?

1 answer

The inequality would be:

48x + 494.85 ≤ 1,042.98

This inequality ensures that the total cost of the speakers and television does not exceed the amount of money Michael has in his account.
