Question

Helena has saved $595 to put toward snowboarding equipment and lift tickets at the hill. Each lift ticket costs $35. If she wants to have more than $420 of her savings left to spend on equipment, which inequality represents the number of lift tickets she can buy?

Answer 1

If you're asking how many tickets she buys before she gets to 420$. it will be 5 tickets each ticket is 35$ so times that times 5 and it adds up to 175$ so subtract that from 595 and there's your answer. :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The inequality that represents the number of lift tickets she can buy is

35x + 420 ≥ 595

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Helena has saved $595 to put toward snowboarding equipment and lift tickets at the hill. Each lift ticket costs $35 and  If she wants to have more than $420 of her savings left to spend on equipment.

We have to write the inequality that represents the number of lift tickets she can buy.

Let she buys x tickets.

Then,  Given Cost of each tickets is $ 35

So,  the cost of x tickets is 35x.

Since, she wants to have more than $420 of her savings left to spend on equipment.

So this can be modeled using the inequality as,

35x + 420 ≥ 595
