Practice Question

Ricardo has two bank accounts. Each month, he will withdraw a certain amount of money from the first account and deposit a different amount of money into the second account. The inequality 8,000 – 200x ? 5,000 + 300x can be solved to find the number of months, x, for which the account has more money than the second account. What is the solution to this inequality?

Answer Choices

  • A: x ? 6
  • B: x ? 30
  • C: x ? 30
  • D: x ? 6

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Solve: 8000 - 200x? 5000 + 300x. Subtract 5000: 3000 - 200x ? 300x. Add 200x: 3000 ? 500x. Divide by 500: x ? 6. Thus, the correct answer is x ? 6.
