A monthly bill is always like this: \(15 + m \times 0.04.\) Can you write the inequality to solve (first, without solving it)?

OpenStudy (barrelracing):

15 + 0.04m < 57.68 ?

OpenStudy (barrelracing):

@reemii

OpenStudy (reemii):

It is the other way around: 15+0.05*m represents the amount to pay, while 57.68 is the Minimum she had to pay. -> 15+0.05*m was always greater or equal to the smallest bill she ever had: 57.68 -> 15+0.05*m ≥ 57.68

OpenStudy (barrelracing):

ok so i solve the equation 15 + 0.05 x m > 57.68

OpenStudy (barrelracing):

853.6?

OpenStudy (reemii):

Yes. Now since you must give an whole number of minutes, you must round to the upper value: 854. (if m ≥ 853.6 and is integer, it is ≥ 854).

OpenStudy (barrelracing):

oh ok thanks for all your help :)

OpenStudy (reemii):

you forgot the medal ;)
