$25x ≤ $1.75 
$25x ≥ $1.75 
I thought it was B but that wasn't right. :(

Tony has $727.29 in his checking account. He must maintain a $500 balance to avoid a fee. He wrote a check for $248.50 today. Write and solve an inequality to solve for the least amount of money he needs to deposit to avoid a fee.

anonymous · Answer

727.29 + 248.50 − x ≥ 500; x ≥ $475.79 
727.29 + 248.50 − x ≤ 500; x ≤ $475.79 
727.29 − 248.50 + x ≥ 500; x ≥ $21.21 
727.29 – 248.50 - x ≤ 500; x ≤ $21.21 
Is it C? :)
