Question 316761: At a 15% discount rate, Jack's discount was more than $21 on the jacket he purchased.
Write an inequality to describe this situation using p for the original price of the jacket.
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
p = original price of the jacket.
d = .15 * p
if d > 21, then .15 * p must be > 21.
This means that:
.15 * P > 21
divide both sides of this equation by .15 to get:
p > 21/.15 = 140
in order for the discount to be greater than 21, the price of the jacket must be greater than 140.
You can plug in some numbers for the price of the jacket to see for yourself.
