Please provide the steps on writing an inequality statement with the information below.

Most of your traveling will be done on the highways. Assume you would like to budget no more than $50 per week on gas, the current price of gas is $3 per gallon.

  • Show an inequality statement for each of the vehicles using the highway miles per gallon that could be used to solve for the maximum number highway miles traveled (m) to stay within budget.
  • Solve each inequality rounding solutions to nearest tenth as necessary.

Your Response

Firstly, divide $50 budget by cost of gas per gallon $3_ 50/3 =$16.66

Inequality statement for choices 1-3

(39)$16.66=649.74 miles

(43)$16.66=713.38 miles

(42)$16.66=699.72 miles
