Now that you are successful in your new position, you have decided to reward yourself with a new (or new to you) vehicle. Sources say you should strive to have your vehicle payment be no more than 10% of your gross monthly salary, which you already computed in question 3. Write an inequality, using x to represent your gross monthly salary and y to represent your monthly car payment, which could be used to calculate the range of payments that will work in your budget. (Do NOT input your salary on this step).

Camden Stuart · Answer 1

The inequality is

0< y< = 0.1x

Explanation:

If X represent the gross monthly salary and and y represent your monthly car payment the inequality.

10% of x = 0.1x

no more than 10% of your gross monthly salary means

Y < = 0.1x

The inequality therefore is 0< y< = 0.1x

Range is : (0, 0.1x)

Explanation:

Problem has no information about amount of salary, so I will just use 'x' and 'y'.

Problem says that vehicle payment should be no more than 10% of gross monthly salary. This means that vehicle payment (Y) equals to 0.1 (10%) multiplied by gross monthly salary, which is stated as 'X'.

From this y = 0.1 X;

Next, if we want to identify range of payments: (0; 0.1X).

This means that any amount of money between 0 and 0.1X is acceptable.
