OpenStudy (decarr432):

representing the solution choices are A. 50,000-w<26,000 B. 26,000-w<50,000 C. 50,000-w>26,000 D. 76,000-w>50,000

OpenStudy (decarr432):

The amount he can withdraw is A. w>26,000 B. w<26,000 C. w>24,000 D. w<24,000

50,000 - 26,000 is 24,000. So, for the second part, what could be the only possible answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Keep in mind, that the amount of money left must be GREATER than 26,000. :)

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Okay those were stupid answers I just caught how to do it XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know how now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you still need help?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

I'd like help to better understand it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (decarr432):

I believe the answers are A. and D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the 1st part, you are almost correct. Try again :)

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Okay second choices would have to be C. and A.

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Not c and a i meant c and b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D was correct for the second one, you didn't need to change it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think of it this way:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the second part: if you take away more than 24,000 dollars, you would have less than 26,000 dollars left. Which is not what you want. For the second part, that answer is D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you see why?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

Oh okay I get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now that you know that, what do you think the 1st one is?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

C?

OpenStudy (decarr432):

because he wanted more then 26,000 left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct! Good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (decarr432):
