Your goal is to save at least $360.00 over the next 6 weeks. How much money must you save each week in order to meet that goal? Write and solve an inequality.

1 answer

Let's represent the amount of money you save each week as "x". To meet the goal of saving at least $360 over the next 6 weeks, the inequality is as follows:

6x ≥ 360

To solve for "x", we divide both sides of the inequality by 6:

x ≥ 360/6

Simplifying, we have:

x ≥ 60

Therefore, you must save at least $60 each week in order to meet the goal of saving $360 over the next 6 weeks.
