11. On the first of the month the balance of


Amelia's saving account was $60. She plans


to deposit $20 each week until she has


at least $475 saved. Write and solve an


inequality to represent the situation.


How many deposits does she need to make


to reach her goal?

Respuesta :

The number of deposits that she has to make in order to reach her goal of saving $475 is 21 weeks.

How many deposits should she make?

The equation that represents the total amount Amelia can save is:

Total amount saved ≥ initial deposits + (weekly deposits x number of weeks)

$475 ≥ $60 + $20x

In order to determine the value of x, take the following steps:

Combine similar terms

$475 - $60 ≥ $20x

$415 ≥20x

Divide both sides by 20

x ≥ 20.75

x ≥ 21 weeks
