GPT-4o mini · Answer

To determine an inequality for the maximum number of gigabytes Tyler can use while keeping his bill under $85 per month, we start by defining the components of his bill.

Tyler has a flat charge of $49.50 per month and an additional charge of $5 for each gigabyte used. If $ g $ represents the number of gigabytes Tyler uses, his total monthly bill can be expressed as:

\[ 49.50 + 5g \]

Since Tyler wants to keep his total bill under $85, we can set up the following inequality:

\[ 49.50 + 5g < 85 \]

Thus, the correct inequality that can be used to determine $ g $ is:

\[ 85 > 49.5 + 5g \]

So, the correct answer from the multiple choice options is:

85 > 49.5 + 5g
