Question

A phone carrier charges an extra fee if a customer uses more than 500 minutes each month. Tom has already used 230 minutes this month.

Which inequality can be used to find how many more minutes he can use without going over the limit?

Responses

230 + m > 500
230 + m > 500

230 + m ≥ 500
230 + m ≥ 500

230 + m < 500
230 + m < 500

230 + m ≤ 500
230 + m ≤ 500

Answer 1

To find how many more minutes \( m \) Tom can use without going over the 500-minute limit, we need to ensure that the total minutes he uses (230 minutes already used plus the additional minutes \( m \)) is less than or equal to 500.

The correct inequality is:

\[ 230 + m ≤ 500 \]

So the response is:

230 + m ≤ 500
