Lilly is saving up to buy a cell phone she needs to save at least 300 before she is able to buy the phone her grandfather gives her 40 and she earns 65 tutoring after school each week write an inequality for the number of weeks lily will need to save to have at least 300 and describe the solution

Answer 1

Let's let "w" represent the number of weeks that Lilly will need to save.

The inequality that represents the number of weeks Lilly needs to save to have at least $300 is:
65w + 40 ≥ 300

To find the solution, we can set up and solve the inequality:

65w + 40 ≥ 300

Subtract 40 from both sides:

65w ≥ 260

Divide both sides by 65:

w ≥ 4

Therefore, Lilly will need to save for at least 4 weeks to have $300 or more, in order to buy the cell phone.
