Let "w" be the number of weeks it takes for Lily to save up at least $300.
The amount of money she saves each week can be represented as:
$65 (tutoring earnings) + $40 (grandfather's gift) = $105
Therefore, the inequality for the number of weeks would be:
105w + x ≥ 300
where "x" is the amount of money Lily currently has.
The solutions to this inequality will be any non-negative integer "w" that satisfies the equation, since Lily cannot have a non-integer number of weeks. The specific value of "x" will depend on how much money Lily has saved previously or how much additional money she may receive.
Lily is saving up to buy a cellphone. 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 solutions.(2 points)
