Suppose the stock market gains the same amount, m , 4 days in a row. Which inequality shows how much the stock market could gain per day but must be less than 376 points above its starting point?

1 answer

Let's call the amount the stock market gains per day "x". Then, the total amount gained in 4 days would be 4x.

According to the problem, the total amount gained must be less than 376 points above its starting point. This can be represented by the inequality:

4x < 376

Thus, the inequality that shows how much the stock market could gain per day but must be less than 376 points above its starting point is:
4x < 376
