Solving One-Variable Inequalities

Question 2 • Online Algebra, Function, Number A

Nala can spend no more than $150 per month on gasoline. She has already purchased $60 in gas this month. Which inequality can be used to find the maximum number of fill-ups she can purchase during the rest of the month, assuming each fill-up costs $30?

Answer
A
30n + 60 > 150
B
30n + 60 < 150
C
60n + 30 < 150
D
60n + 30 > 150

Explanation

Let n represent the number of additional fill-ups. Those fill-ups cost $30n, and adding the $60 already spent gives a total of 30n + 60 dollars. Since Nala can spend no more than $150, the total must be less than or equal to $150; among the choices, B, 30n + 60 < 150, has the correct expression and direction.
