3920 - 36x ≤ 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Calista worked all summer to save for spending money while she is away for college. She goes off to college with $3920 in her savings account. She wants to have at least $500 left in her account at the end of her 36-week school year. Write an inequality to represent this situation.

Let the amount of money spent in 36 weeks = x

At least = Less than or equal to = ≤

$3920 - 36x ≤ $500

Hence, the inequality to represent this situation is written as:

3920 - 36x ≤ 500

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
