Micah is deciding which rooms in his house he is going to paint.

Question

Which situation is represented by the inequality 150≥42.21+21.64x
?

Answer 1

The situation represented by the inequality 150≥42.21+21.64x is that Micah has a budget of $150 to spend on painting rooms in his house, and the cost of painting a room is $42.21 plus an additional cost of $21.64 per room painted (represented by x). The inequality shows that the total cost of painting x rooms should not exceed the budget of $150.
