Linear Inequality Word Problems and Graphing

A limo driver needs to make more than $450 in one day. He charges a rental fee of $375 plus $0.85 per mile. What inequality represents the number of miles, x, he would have to drive to reach his goal?

• 0.85x + 375 > 450

• 0.85x + 375 < 450

• 0.85 + 375x > 450

• 0.85 + 375x < 450

Write the linear inequality in standard form for this situation: The CRHS science department can spend no more than $2700 on textbooks this year. The department needs to buy both Biology text books, which cost $57 each, and Chemistry textbooks, which cost $72 each.

• 57x + 72y ≥ 2700

• 57x + 72y > 2700

• 57x + 72y < 2700

• 57x + 72y ≤ 2700

Write the linear inequality in standard form for this situation: The manager of an electronics store projects that the store should achieve more than $21,000 in revenue from TVs and DVD players every day in order to remain profitable. Tvs sell for $225 and DVD players sell for $175.

• 225x +175y ≤ 21,000

• 225x +175y ≥ 21,000

• 225x +175y < 21,000

• 225x +175y > 21,000
