Question

under her cell phone plan, paisley pays a flat cost of $60 per month and $3 per gigabyte. she wants to keep her bill under $75 per month. write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine g, the number of gigabytes paisley can use while staying within her budget. answer attempt 1 out of 2 < > ≤ ≥ inequality: g submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Write the inequality

The flat cost is $60$ and the cost per gigabyte is $3g$. The total bill should be under $75$. So the inequality is $60 + 3g<75$.

Step2: Solve the inequality for $g$

Subtract $60$ from both sides: $3g<75 - 60$.
So, $3g<15$.
Divide both sides by $3$: $g < 5$.

Answer:

Inequality: $60+3g < 75$; $g<5$
