Tom is getting ready to go on vacation. He wants to save at least $2,000 for his trip. So far he has saved $375. Write an inequality using the variable M to represent how much money he needs to save to reach his goal and find that amount of money.

Answer 1

So if he wants to save at least 2000
it means that he looking to have no less that 2000
so far he had saved 375 already
so we must M+375 be at least 2000

Answer 3

2000 < M + 375?

Answer 4

Answer 6

Answer 10

Could it be 1625? 375 + 1625 would get us to 2000
