Scenario:
Maya wants to save for a study-abroad program that costs $4,500. She already has $850 saved and will add $120 each month. How many months will it take her to have at least $4,500?
Let m = number of months.
Inequality:
850 + 120m ≥ 4500
Solve (showing work):
1) Subtract 850 from both sides:
120m ≥ 4500 − 850
120m ≥ 3650
2) Divide both sides by 120:
m ≥ 3650 / 120
m ≥ 30.4166...
Interpretation (months must be whole):
Maya needs at least 31 months of saving to reach $4,500.
