lillly needs at lest 400 to buy a phone her mom gave her 60 and she earn 10 a day babbysitting her littel sister how many days to reach goal write and solve the inquality

1 answer

Let's assume the number of days it takes for Lilly to reach her goal is represented by "x".

Lilly has already been given $60 by her mom, so the amount she needs to earn through babysitting is $400 - $60 = $340.

Since Lilly earns $10 per day babysitting, the inequality to represent this scenario is:
10x ≥ 340

To solve the inequality, we divide both sides by 10:
x ≥ 34

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