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? (1 point) Responses 230 + m > 500 230 + m > 500 230 + m ≥ 500 230 + m ≥ 500 230 + m < 500 230 + m < 500 230 + m ≤ 500

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find how many more minutes Tom can use without going over the limit of 500 minutes, we can set up the inequality based on the information provided. He has already used 230 minutes, and we need to determine the additional minutes (let's represent this with \( m \)) he can use without exceeding the limit of 500 minutes.

The correct inequality is:

\[ 230 + m < 500 \]

This means that the total minutes he has used (230 minutes) plus any additional minutes (m) must be less than the limit of 500 minutes.

Therefore, the correct response is:

230 + m < 500
