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
