Lily has Php 5000 in her bank account in the beginning of the year.
She wants to have at least Php 1500 at the end of the year.
She withdraws Php250 every two weeks as an extra allowance.
How many times can Lily withdraw money from
her account? What is the inequality statement?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The inequality statement is


    5000 - 250*n >= 1500.


where " n " is the number of withdrawals.  (You write it as you read the problem).


The solution is 


    5000 - 1500 >= 250n

    3500        >= 250n

      n         <=  = 14.


ANSWER.  She can make 14 withdrawals.

Solved.
