Suppose you must maintain a balance of least $500 in your checking account in order to have free checking. The current balance in your checking account is $635.27. Which inequality describes how much can write a check for a and still have free checking?

To find the correct inequality, we need to determine the amount that can be written as a check while still maintaining a balance of at least $500 in the checking account.

Let's assume that the amount written as a check is x. According to the given information, the current balance in the checking account is $635.27.

To maintain a balance of at least $500, the inequality can be expressed as:

Current balance - Amount written as a check ≥ $500

Substituting the values, we get:

$635.27 - x ≥ $500

Simplifying the inequality, we have:

635.27 ≥ x + 500

Now, let's rearrange the inequality to have x on one side:

x + 500 ≤ 635.27

Since we want to find the maximum amount that can be written as a check, we need to isolate x. Subtracting 500 from both sides of the inequality, we get:

x ≤ 635.27 - 500

Simplifying further, we have:

x ≤ 135.27

Therefore, the correct inequality is:

B. 500 > x - 635.27
