First, let's subtract the whole pool by the water currently in to find the water needed to fill it:
4500 - 1500 = 3000
Because we need to represent an inequality:
30m = 3000
Divide both by 30:
m = 100
It will take 100 minutes

Answer:

Inequality is m ≤ 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of the pool to hold the maximum water is = 4500 gallons of water.

Pool is already having 1500 gallons of water so remaining volume of the pool that can be filled is = 4500 - 1500 = 3000 gallons

Marcus begins to add 30 gallons water per minute and it takes "m" minutes to  fill the remaining volume.

So amount of water required = 30m gallons

There is a condition that Marcus continues to add water without exceeding the maximum amount of water.

This means remaining amount "3m gallons" will be never cross the limit of "3000 gallons" of remaining volume of water.

Now we can form the inequality as 3m ≤ 3000

or m ≤ 1000

Therefore, answer is m ≤ 1000

What is the percent of increase in the rent for Bob's apartment if it went from $560 to $616?
son4ous [18]

This is a two step problem. First, you need to find the difference (or increase) in the rent using subtraction.

616-560 = $56 increase

Now we need to figure what percent 56 is to the original amount (560)

We voice it like this:

56 is to 560 as x is to 100.

The equation looks like this:

56/560 - x/100

Cross multiply to cancel out the denominators.

56 x 100 = 560 x

5600 = 560 x

x = 10 percent.

Check it!

What is 10 percent of 560?

560 x .1 = $56

Was that your increase? ... yes.
