Joel works part time at a grocery store to earn extra money to buy a furniture set that costs 1200 She currently has 750 saved and wants to add 35 dollars each week from per paycheck

Write an inequality that could be used to determine w the number of weeks she will have to save plus her sasvings in order for her to have more than 1200
750+35w>1200

1 answer

your inequality is correct. So,

750+35w > 1200
35w > 450
w > 12.8

Since she probably doesn't get paid till the end of the week, that means she'll need to work at least 13 more weeks to have the $1200 saved up.
