Billy charges $15 to mow a yard. He needs at least $200 for the new bicycle that he wants. Write and solve an inequality to find out how many yards must he mow to make at least $200?
Answer:
Inequality: \(15x\geq 200\)
x=14
Step-by-step explanation:
Billy charges $15 to mow a yard.
Billy charges $15 to mow a yard. He needs at least $200 for the new bicycle that he wants.
Let he bought x number of mow
Cost of each mow = $15
Cost of x number of mow = 15x
He had atleast $200
15x should be greater than 200
Inequality form:

Now we solve for x

He should buy atleast 14 mow.
Hence, 14 yards must he mow to make $200
