    What is the format for
    writing an
    equation/inequality??
    Fixed rate + Variable
    cost
    =
    Total (y)
    What is a fixed
    rate or a fixed
    cost???
    ....
    It is an independent
    amount; a one time
    fee, it is an amount
    that does not
    depend on any other
    variables
    Examples

    A monthly membership fee


    Rent
    One time payments
    Initiation fees
    What is a
    variable cost or
    variable rate???
    One that depends
    on how much, how
    many, or how long

    *These are usually the Each,


    for every, and per, words*
    LETS TRY SOME
    Which inequality sign would
    you use?

    1. Paul has to get at least a B this


    quarter.
    2. The most I can spend is $20
    3. Karen is a size 12 and Judy is a
    size 8, Judy weighs _____ than
    Karen.
    Take 1 minute to work with your tablemates and create
    1-2 word problems that require you to use inequality
    symbols.
    Be CREATIVE !!!!

    I will call on 3 different groups, so be ready to share!


    I model.(think-aloud)

    Terrell has $65 to spend at the


    mall. He bought a T-shirt for $18
    & a belt for $14. If Terrell still
    wants to buy a pair of jeans, how
    much can he spend on the jeans?
    Let x represent the jeans

    What is Terrells total?

    How much has Terrell already


    spent?

    Which inequality symbol will


    you use?
    x + $18 + $14 $65
    x + $32 $65
    -32 -32
    x $33
    We do. (Elbow Partner)

    Mrs. Pitts needs a minimum of


    $5,000 to pay for the senior
    prom. They have already raised
    $2,500. If there are 45 seniors,
    how much will each senior have
    to pay to go to prom??
    What is the fixed amount??
    (The amount thats not going to change)

    $2,500

    What is the variable amount?

    45x

    What is the total?

    $5,000
    What inequality sign are we
    using?

    Put it all together & solve

    45x + 2500 5000


    45x + 2500 5000
    -2500 -2500
    45x 2500
    45 45

    X $55.55
    We do (try #2).

    Keith weighs 200 pounds. He wants


    to weigh less than 175 pounds. If he
    can lose an average of 2 pounds per
    week on a certain diet, how long
    should he stay on the diet?
    What is the fixed amount?

    200 lbs

    What is the variable amount?


    (Be careful this one is tricky, he wants to LOSE)

    -2x

    What is the total?

    175 lbs
    What would the
    inequality symbol be?

    <
    Put it together & solve

    -2x + 200 < 175


    Remember the one rule
    about inequalities

    Multiply or divide by a negative, your


    inequality flips

    -2x + 200 < 175


    -200 -200
    -2x < -25
    -2 -2
    x > 12.5 weeks
