liilly needs at least 400 to buy a phone her mom gave her 60 and she earns 10 a day babysitting her littel sitter how many days to reach goal write and solve the inequality

Answer 1

Let's say x represents the number of days it takes for Lilly to reach her goal of $400.

Since she earns $10 a day babysitting, the amount she earns in x days would be 10x dollars.

We can now write an inequality to represent the given situation:
60 + 10x ≥ 400

To solve this inequality, we can first subtract 60 from both sides:
10x ≥ 340

Then, divide both sides of the inequality by 10:
x ≥ 34

Therefore, it would take at least 34 days for Lilly to reach her goal of $400.
