Question

Li’s family is saving money for their summer vacation. Their vacation savings account currently has a balance of $2,764. The family would like to have at least $5,000.

Which inequality can be used to determine the amount of money the family still needs to save?
2764 + x > 5000
2764 + x Greater-than-or-equal-to 5000
2764 + x Less-than-or-equal-to 5000
5000 + x > 2764

Answer 1

2764 + x ≥ 5000

Solving gives x ≥ 5000 − 2764 = 2236, so they need to save at least $2,236 more.
