A tuition bill for school states that Brenda owes $438. She wants to pay off her bill in 6 months. Write and solve an inequality that gives the least amount she can repay each month.

Respuesta :

The least amount Brenda can pay each month is $73.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount owed by Brenda to school = $438

Time to pay off = 6 months

Let,

x be the amount Brenda can repay in 1 month.

Time period*Amount each month ≥ Total amount

[tex]6x\geq 438[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 6

[tex]\frac{6x}{6}\geq \frac{438}{6}\\x\geq 73[/tex]

The least amount Brenda can pay each month is $73.
