A group of friends want to buy concert tickets for a popular band, but they need to save enough money to attend. They currently have a combined total of $300. Each friend decides to save a different amount: Amy saves x dollars, Bob saves 2x dollars, and Charlie saves 3x dollars. They realize that they will only be able to buy tickets if their savings sum up to at least $500.
