Question

anonymous · Answer

just to test your knowledge..can you tell me how much she could actually spend from her account without being charged fees

anonymous · Answer

$500 right ?

anonymous · Answer

No if she has 524.96 and has to maintain 500 balance - she can only spend 24.96...

anonymous · Answer

524.96 − 32.50 + x ≥ 500; x ≥ $7.54

anonymous · Answer

$$x+524.96-32.50\ge500$$

anonymous · Answer

actually the sign should go the other way <=

anonymous · Answer

Okay , thanks guys!

anonymous · Answer

524.96 − 32.50 + x ≥ 500; x ≥ $7.54

anonymous · Answer

I don't think so...the questioins asks what is the least amount she can deposit to maintain her balance which means she can deposit more

anonymous · Answer

$$x+492.46\ge500$$
$$x \ge7.54$$
