Emma Burton · Answer 1

The answer is C) 10x + 330 ≤ 600.

We use the ≤ since you are allowed to use the 600th minute.

When we subtract 330 from both sides, it makes a bit more sense

10x ≤ 270

270 is the number of minutes left your plan since you've already used 330, and you have 10 days left in the month.
