Question

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 an inequality that would be used to solve for the least amount of money he needs to deposit to avoid a fee.

Answer 1

Total money = $727.29 , wrote a check for $248.50
so the money left --> 727.29-248.50= $478.79
must maintain = $500

Answer 2

lets `x` be the unknown number(money he needs to deposit)
`x` plus the money left in the account should `at least ` 500
\[ at least \rightarrow \ge \]
